This book is bad from beginning to end, after the first few pages i thought my discomfort with the book was just because i hate this style of writing ( where everything is done over email or text). However it never got better. The story progesses so quickly it goes from trying to sell an item to a dom/sub pact in about a week and a half. one of the main characters is manipulative but in a way a teen boy would be a first. leaving just so you beg them to come back until it escalates. at points it feels like a prank gone wrong . the writng is fine once one of the characters starts talking about her day or writes longer messages but it isnt enough to save the book.the ending is unstatisfing and the twist is even worse. it is scary, it isnt horror, it is a womans psychotic break in the strangest most distorted way possible. it doesnt make you feel anything but annoyance and wonder how you got here. do not recommend
