I found this book very strange..
We follow Alex who essentially is mulling through life after making one mistake with her partner Simon.
She uses other people for her own personal gain, and not much happens in the book for me personally.
I didn’t feel any sympathy for the character because of the way she treated people in her line of work.
The book ended so abruptly I was so confused.
I understood the message that she was a young girl trying to survive but I don’t think it was very realistic.
