Well… that was wild. 

Slow for the first 100 pages or so but then things get crazy. Not entirely sure how to feel but I guess I was entertained?? Look up trigger warnings before reading.

Dragging story, quite predictable twists, no likeable characters, very little suspense

Definitely a page turner. A dark novel, but light entertainment. I did feel that the voices of Millie and Nina were too similar (the author's style came through with the same phrases etc.) so that was a bit of a minus for me in terms of character development. Overall an enjoyable read though.
