3.5

A great thriller with so much sarcasm packed into the characters and their situation throughout the story. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I would’ve appreciated more attention on Darby at the end of it to show her growth and reactions a little more, but I loved the inclusion of journalism and the strong female protagonist, even if she was sexualized throughout the whole book by every man she met🙄John Grisham, I dare you to mention how long her legs are one more time!
