Great
I really liked this book and would recommend this book. I wish this book was a movie or TV show. I didn't like how Kim let her problems run her mind crazy. Her friend and ex had been sexing each other before the three some. Because, of what Kim 2 was screaming. Unless that was in Kim's head. I didn't like how Ronald got away with murdering two people. I thought the ending was not that great. It could have been better.
