Just hard to listen to Astrid’s perspective the whole book. Sexuality is a spectrum, and sometimes lesbians are just bitches. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There were too many flashbacks, too many aliases to keep track of and I got so bored so quick! 

The only redeeming quality is the end when it’s revealed it’s been the plan all along, and I guess the flashbacks were necessary but I feel like that could have been revealed earlier in the book to help with the pacing. I also am happy she ended up with Ryan at the end!
