This book started off very slow. Samira was very annoying at the beginning because she was an adult that lacked taking responsibility and she blamed everybody but herself and everything that was happening. For being at her age, and not being able to keep a job and having her brother support her it was a lot. She was very entitled and selfish throughout the first chapters. Really good. I definitely did not see the ending coming. I thought I had figured out who did what but this was the first book that all of my predictions were incorrect. I don’t think I’ll be reading another book from this author, but I am glad I was able to learn about her and read this book.
