I liked the ending of this book it had me on the edge of my seat. I didn’t like Mick at first but towards the end she grew on me. On the same note I wished the author fixed the toxicity in Micks and Veronica’s relationship at the beginning, but I’m happy they worked through it for the most part. Both mick and Veronica were extremely problematic and I wished it was addressed. Nico was a dick though and manipulated Veronica too. The plot twist was huge though and I didn’t like how it was so open ended.

This book was good and had very surprising ending. It sets you up to believe one thing, but then gives a pleasing twist. The plot is one that doesn't seem obvious, but when you come back to it, you can see all the pieces are there.
