This book moved me alone the entire time. This review will feel a little hypocritical. Most parts made this book good and then it fell flat. Yet, I my decision can go both ways with it being ok and really good.
As the story progress I couldn’t put the book down. I needed to know who was really the friend, on her side or really trying to get rid of her. At one point I believed I figured it out. Seriously was hoping that wasn’t the direction but I was right.
The story towards the end is where the book felt flat to me. It made the story plot feel forced to me. Although, I learned the reason it still did not give me the satisfaction I was looking for. Three in a half stars because I was engaged for most of the book. That is a plus. One part was shocking because wtf! You have to be really be desperate to go with that plan (haha). I wasn’t expecting that part. Easy, fast pace book to start and finish. (Read with audio)
