Honestly I thought there were parts that were entertaining and lovable but most of it was all waffle. I didn’t find much character development other than Minjun. I think it would have been better if there was more of a plot and more character depth.

The first half of this book was very entertaining and gave me some giggles. However the last half I felt was disappointing and very predictable. I have read many of Kinsellas work and I am disappointed with how this one ended.

This book certainly had a twist I wasn’t expecting. It was enjoyable to read and definitely lures you in further and further. 

Would recommend to anyone who does enjoy thrillers and fans of Frieda McFadden.
