Honestly didn’t like the first half of the book, the writing felt a bit clunky. The story started to pick up in the second half it felt like it picked up. I like maybe 3 characters in this book, the rest are just stupid assholes. Something that confused me was the twins are supposed to be from Chicago but use British terms?
“Darius to be slating her behind her back”
“put on some thongs, my feet aching too much to bear being confined to any shoes.”
