You can definitely tell that a man wrote this book because it's told from the perspective of two young woman who have no personality at all. it was very disappointing to read about how easily and without question these woman fall for this weirdo guy just because he tells them he wants to "take them to bed". Not sure what woman that line works on these days, but I was definitely hoping for something a bit more than that. Whoever promoted this book thought did great because selling it as the next Gone Girl/Girl On the Train was the reason I bought it, but after reading it I found it to be a wannabe copy cat book who was trying so hard to be a Fifty Shades of Grey, Gone Girl, even a smidge of Twilight type story. It lacked creativity in my opinion and took me forever to finish. Usually I can read a book in a couple of days, but this one took me over two weeks to push my way through. It wasn't worth it either. Even if you want to listen to the other great reviews about this book, I would definitely suggest getting it from the library or borrowing it from a friend so you don't have to fork over actual money for this thing.
