So, I don't want to spoil this book but it comes in two parts and it wasn't the book I thought it was going to be. 

I found the characters to be fun to follow and the book was fast paced enough that you didn't really have a chance to get annoyed with them for being shallow. They felt like real people to me. 

But the absolute bombshell in the middle part of the book, is a game changer. Nearly gave up on it, bit, part 2. Loved this.
