This was nearly perfect. I wish there were a bit more developed points of a particular character's storyline before the big reveal at the end, but otherwise I thought Janica's and Thomas' story was perfectly written. I highly recommend this book for fans of 'A Walk To Remember,' 'The Vow,' and 'The Fault In Our Stars.'

I would have liked maybe 1 or 2 parts that showed Harley and Ivy’s romantic relationship, but otherwise this collection gives us a long range of Harley adventures to enjoy. A great introduction to the character for those who’ve only seen Harley on the big or small screen.

Definitely a diverse group of women in history, and now I want to listen to the podcast!

Am I obsessed with mob wives now? Yes, yes I am. I'll probably never watch the movie version of this. The only thing I wished was for this to be 2 issues longer, but otherwise this wraps up everything going on in the plot nicely.

This was adorable! I feel like normally the gender roles are reversed in plots like this, so it was refreshing in terms of a modern romance.

This had a lot of potential, but in all honesty, I think all of Liza's memoir parts could have been one chapter. I was way more interested in the cause of Tony's demise than in Liza's story (I know that's kinda mean but that's my opinion). More true crime, less memoir for this one.

I enjoyed every twist and turn and was fully invested in the lives of our characters. There were definitely times when I thought I knew where the story was going, and I'm genuinely happy that I was surprised by the overall turn of events. I also fangirled a bit with some of the easter eggs from 'A Beautiful Poison' that were included in this book.

If the Brock Turner case didn't infuriate you enough, this book will elevate that anger by 1000x. While she easily could have gone on to bash Turner for the scum of the earth that he is, Chanel's story is one of strength and grace while giving us a glimpse into the lengthy legal process victims will endure to receive justice. I highly recommend watching the documentary 'The Hunting Ground' as a companion to this book.

This is definitely a collection for long-time readers of DC and/or the Birds Of Prey characters, but I still enjoyed the adventure, The fact that I want to learn more about the characters I hadn't previously known about is also a plus.
I had really high hopes for this book because of the family mystery/mythology combo, but this one was just very very slow (which I have a feeling might be a translation issue). I got through about half the book and very little happened plot-wise.
