Review
I think this was a very character driven novel. Beck is compelling and fun. Her personality really jumps off the pages and makes it easy to get behind her.
The other great thing about this novel was that it was very exciting. There was so much going on and so many twists and turns and unexpected moments. It really kept me as the reader engaged throughout.
