I can honestly say I didn't see the end of this book coming, and I ended up siding with characters I sort of hated throughout most of the book and vice versa. This felt very much like watching a movie and while it wasn't always necessarily realistic or terribly intricate, it was entertaining as hell and I didn't really want it to end. This author never disappoints.

Additional Note:
I have no idea about Jackson’s timeline for the completion for this book, but her naming brands under the boycott for Palestine was extremely off-putting. Not only that, but this author is also under discussion for her books being translated by an Israeli publisher, Modan and is an issue yet to be addressed.

The audio narration is done very well with clear distinction of who is speaking when. Highly recommend listening to this, and it was my first book by Holly Jackson.
