overall, my rating is out of pure enjoyment and how much escapism this book provided. while some plot twist at the end were fairly predictable because i mean, what else can it be done (if i knew i would be writing bestsellers!)? i think for me it's the fact that despite the predictability of some twists & revelations, it's how it lingers as you carry on reading. i wouldn't say this was light reading because the themes were very dark without any graphic scenes. i really do adore Freida Klein and her cast of misfits that hangs with her. i am very excited to read the rest of the series!
