Playing Nice by JP Delaney
3.75
dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is a fun read, albeit a little more far-fetched than other thrillers. The plot is relatively slow-paced, and the tension and dread are eerily woven throughout every page. Oof, I was FRUSTRATED at times with the characters’ decisions. Overall, I did enjoy this book and devoured it pretty eagerly (though filled with anxiety most of the time).
