This was one of the most unintentionally hilarious books I’ve ever read. Just everything happening one thing after another is so funny, I didn’t feel bad for her at all 😅 When the main plot gets wrapped up halfway through the book, run.

This was bad. I would have DNF'd it, but I needed a 'Q' book for my alphabet challenge. 

Not only did the action of the protagonist make no sense, but the gratuitous use of 'twists' and attempts at shock value made no sense.
