And you know what? I was tired of her bullshit too. When I say that FL made dubious decisions, reverse it back to me then double down? Yea that’s her. Like Alex was insane for that. I kept saying to myself…often. Not in an enjoyable kekeke moment either.  She makes her own luck then topples it all down. Go figure.

I felt sick with tension and foreboding the whole time I was reading this book. Gripping but stressful.

A delectable train wreck that I could not put down. Gobsmacked at the sheer audacity of protagonist Alex and the way she both floats and jackhammers through life.
