WHAT A PAGE-TURNER !!! (stayed up till 4am binge-reading this). So tense, this actually made me anxious and scared to go to sleep?? Who knows if there's someone out there hunting me with a sniper as well. I was so invested in this story, yet I must deduce one star because the plot and setting felt quite unrealistic.

there could've been so many other choices than mafia?? overall the setting was just.. something that could only ever happen in fiction (lol). AND DAMN DID I HATE OLIVER, I can't believe I still despise him the most even after learning about all that horrible stuff. He just made me so angry I actually would've hit him. Also I really hope Red says NO to Arthur's final request — the romance/crushing stuff was cute in the beginning but now with all the knowledge, Arthur is a fucking awful person as well AND DOESN'T DESERVE RED. The open ending was a nice solution, but why did it have to be told through a letter? I hate letters in books.
