90% of this book was amazing. But she shoots it down at the last chapters.
I cannot understand Monique's reaction to the Big Reveal. It doesn't make any sense. The alternative would have been so much worse, for everyone.
Frankly, her reaction, her actions, her words, her anger, was so absurd for me, that I almost threw this book out. It was almost GOT finale kind of reaction. :-D Almost.
I loved the last sentence, though. :-) That was very nice. :-)
BTW, if you liked this, try reading Joan Collins ...more
