Honestly, words can not describe how irriated I was about this book and these characters. By the end I wanted to throw my book across the room...I didn't because I was sitting in front of a window, but the sentiment was there.
These characters are insufferable at the best of times and just plain dumb at the worst. They make bad decisions, they don't communicate and they act like they are in a bad lifetime movie. I would not be surprised if it does become a lifetime movie.
Jade didn't know how to communicate, Greg didn't know how to communicate and they both were so insecure about everthing. Violet will always have a hater in me.
There truly was no redeemable characters in my opinion. At about the halfway point I was just ready for the book to be over with and call it done. I didn't care who was behind the botched robbery and I was ready to end my time with these characters.
The writing was okay, dragged alot because it seemed like the author had a quota to meet and she described everything, from the food to how they installed the cameras. Everything.
Ultimately, it was a decent read, had its okay moments and had its not so okay moments. It does hold your attention and there are some good discoveries, the twist was wild in a didn't see that coming and how anticlimatic way.
