interesting plot that had me hooked from the start. sure it was kind of easy to guess the twist, personally I enjoy how we get to that point.
the only thing for me was the writing, it felt more like a YA book at times such as scenes with her love interest. Nothing wrong with YA books but this is not marketed as such so sometimes I felt like I was reading YA romance due to the wordings and descriptions.
I really did enjoyed the discussion on the ‘perfect victim’, very true and unfortunately always relevant.
