I love her writing style and the way that she weaves the characters together. I could visualize the scenes and was sad when it ended.
Gripping
I was pleasantly surprised to have stumbled upon this book as I didn’t realize that I would be able to read a follow up to Sugar’s story. A Phenomenal read.
