This book reads like a Netflix original. I’m saying that in the nicest and meanest way possible. The writing style is a little annoying at times, and I felt that the author worked too hard in painting a picture. I did enjoy reading the book, but the inner dialogue of some characters took me out of the story a bit. I hated reading from Pixie’s POV because it was just annoying that she would say something and then find a modern slang term or internet terminology to add to it. Like we get it…you’re old. And I lowkey hated reading fight scenes because it was just entirely too technical and it disrupted the flow of the story. I admire the detail, just isn’t my style to read fight choreography. 

Other than those few irritating moments, I wouldn’t say I loved the book, but I did become invested by halfway and stayed to see how it unfolded. It was overall a decent read. 

THIS PART OF THE REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS:

I don’t know how I feel about the climax and how everything is put together. Hayden thinking that Rachel is getting pregnant by a sperm donor and feeling this weird ownership over her and secretly arranging to have his sperm used is absolutely crazy. I was not expecting that horror to reveal itself. Always the “nice guy” SMH. The ending is as realistic as it gets and I wish the story went on long enough for us to see what Nicky had in store for the Paynes. Like a whole spiel about how rich people aren’t above being held accountable and you’re gonna leave us hanging?! I know what’s gonna happen but I wanted to see. Decent read though.
