A clever, perhaps too clever account of a young woman trying to overcome a difficult start in Southern California. The writing tries too hard in places and was at times confusing as the action moved between characters without any clue as to who was speaking. It did make me laugh at times and so I wanted to like it more than I did, found it hard to relate to the main characters, which is always tricky. Useful insight into how things are often not what they seem.

With thanks to the publisher and netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
