Ok so, most of the book was  paced, poorly written, and boring. The main character - Cadence Sinclair and her family - The Sinclair's, are such a basic white family and me, being of color - Indian specifically, did not enjoy the grandfather's personality. In fact I completely hated him. 
"Don't take no for an answer." One if his mottos that he taught his grandchildren, consent is important and he advises children to not care about it. Wow.
Another bit I absolutely hated was the sisters, so toxic. The entire family is toxic.

Ok but listen, the last seven chapters were actually good. I liked it. The plot twist was good, I guess but it took me 81 chapters to get there and not everyone is as patient as I am so, I really don't recommend this.
