I first started reading this book digitally, and liked it so much I bought a physical copy which I re-read from the beginning.
I absolutely ate this book up. It was a very easy read. I was motivated by my hatred of the characters to continue reading just to see what happens. Many moments in the book left me feeling conflicted, since both characters behave inappropriately. Definitely an interesting read.
