It's hard talking about this book without spoiling it. I guessed the "twist" halfway through the book (it's not hard to see it coming honestly) and I had inklings all the way from the first pages so I read this with that idea in mind. I don't know if it changes your experience of the characters. I'm mentioning this because like other J.T. Geissinger's books, things are not black or white. But saying they are shades of gray isn't quite true either. For me, it's about bad people doing good stuff and good people doing terrible things. When they're terrible, they're terrible and my main gripe with her books is that the forgiveness is sometimes a bit too easy to obtain. It's not so much the case here because there's a lot of groveling done but honestly, I owe it to the FMC to be strong, enjoyable and hilarious. Even when she's down, she's a force to be reckoned with. I loved that about Emery. 

The heat is still there (Geissinger writes GREAT heat) and if you're into dysfunctionnal almost but not quite toxic relationship, you'll find your happiness within these pages.
