Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Books for an eARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book gave me Verity-esque vibes! (Verity by Colleen Hoover) The lies, deception, sneakiness, and scandal were all thrilling!

As the plot twist came about, I was surprised, but not completely shocked. However, I couldn’t put the book down at that point. I had to know how it was going to continue to unravel.

The ending felt a little rushed and untied, but it’s apparent it wasn’t supposed to be wrapped up with a bow. Definitely makes you wonder what’s going to happen next ….
