Love the way it brilliantly ties everything together by the end. Gives Joe Goldberg vibes. She's cold, insane, and hilarious.

Ha! I loved this, what a great and original read! It was everything I wanted and more! It had more of a complex storyline than I first imagined but easy enough to follow without it being explained to you overly patronisingly. It had a lot of heart too.
