It felt a little surreal (and now pretty ironic) to read about rating on Goodreads, tweets, instagraming etc. and then here I am sitting and writting my thoughts on this book.

To be honest I feel a little puzzled as I don't really know what to expect from this book and not quite sure if I should rate it 3 or 4 stars. The plot itself was very interesting and as many has already mentioned - the first half of the book got me hooked and couldn't geet away from it. The second half though... it felt kinda repetetive in a while and it really didn't bring anything new to the plot in my opinion. Of course June was exposed in the end but she still somehow made it look like an accident like Athena's unfortunate death. I guess once you are drowning in a huge lie you cannot simply swim out of it.

I obviously know nothing about publishing a book but in today's society I can see that being somewhat diverse sells good and could bring you better benefits and you can even lie about it.
