I was hooked early, but as soon as we switched POV's, I was completely sold on this book. I loved the justice, I loved the explanation behind the behavior shown by Daphne and Bella, I loved the twist. Hating Amber the whole time and loving Daphne was refreshingly consistent for this type of twist. The only thing I would have changed about this book is the timing of when Daphne revealed what she knew about Amber. I don't think that it aligns with Daphne's character to ever willing put another woman, whether she was played and betrayed by her or not, in harms way when it came to the abuse that Jackson exhibits. I wish that Amber could have really thought everything was roses until both her and Jackson were exposed in their own way. She was already trying to do all of the things he was forcing on Daphne with being fit and wanting to wear expensive things. It would have been completely plausible that he wasn't able to reach the point of abuse before they were both caught because he was ignorant of who Amber/Lana was. Domestic abuse should never be a punishment. I loved literally every other aspect about this book though and I've already added the prequel to my wishlist. Was anyone else hoping that Amber would just fall for Daphne as a friend and stop being terrible before the POV shift?
