Something about this guy...
Something about this book makes it feel like it was supposed to be really good but I can't justify rating it higher than it is. A lot of the choices were really weird, like putting in 2 different slurs, even if they kinda made sense in context. The premise is pretty cliche but I felt that he still made it fun to read instead of hashed out. All in all, I'd recommend this as like a "finish in a day" filler book.
Things I Liked:
- I liked her relationship with Jay, it was cute.
- The scene where Ashley dies was hilarious. "Am I immortal?" *Dies of headshot wound*
Things I Didn't:
- Darby dying was insane, Darby surviving was ridiculous and came out of nowhere
- MCU dialogue, especially with scenes regarding Ashley
- The villains got cartoonishly evil, and also it's implied Lars was the bad guy because he was ugly??

Things I Liked:
Spoiler
- The action was written pretty good. It was exciting watching Darby fight the guys and use her surroundings. It read like I could see it happen in motion.- I liked her relationship with Jay, it was cute.
- The scene where Ashley dies was hilarious. "Am I immortal?" *Dies of headshot wound*
Things I Didn't:
Spoiler
- Too many twists. My God, the last ten pages had like seven twists alone.- Darby dying was insane, Darby surviving was ridiculous and came out of nowhere
- MCU dialogue, especially with scenes regarding Ashley
- The villains got cartoonishly evil, and also it's implied Lars was the bad guy because he was ugly??
