If you’re looking for an escapist read that feels exactly like watching a juicy political drama this was fun. Yes, it was over the top and at some points it verges on ridiculous territory but I did have a blast reading it. It’s a total popcorn thriller and would be a fun beach read as long as you don’t think too much about what is happening with the plot cause it’s kind of out there. Despite the soapy aspect I thought the twists were fairly solid and while not a total surprise there were parts I didn’t see coming. I think this will be a popular summer read, it was just too wickedly fun.
