Jack interviewed Monica and some interesting things were revealed. Half of the privileges Angel got from her job at Sea Blue didn't transfer to Monica. Yeah either David or Dalton was hella into Angel bc that comes off as weird. Also why does Jack keep letting The Connelly's do nice things for him? Him staying with the Connelly's while trying to write a report on Angel is a conflict of interest imo.

Jack is now doing his reporter thing and I'm genuinely enjoying it, wish he got more out of the interview w/ David in chapter 16, that chapter felt like filler. 17 tho>>>>the way the family is described is gorgeous. Italian Catholics who didn't truly know their daughter but want to believe in their heart they did, can't say anything else about her beyond "she was nice and beautiful". Sad scene if I'm being honest.

Wow, again still upset Angel is dead. Like sure, kill off an interesting character to pick up the steam in a book, but hey the book IS picking up steam. Conflict of interest with Jack being both a reporter and somehow rubbing shoulders with the richest whites of Maine already caught in a controversy who now going to be submerged in a larger tide of it. I'm living and hella interested in the book now...

They finally got our Hot Girl Angel Moretti y'all sigh. Toast for the realest bitch in the Bad Girls Club, and the only character in this book that
I didn't find lifeless or boring :((((((((((((. Damn now I gotta read chapter 13 with this sad news like- UGHHH WHY CANT WE HAVE NICE THINGS?!

On Chapter 6, slowly gaining back to the chapter I left off but forgot to track and I have to say, paying more attention during this chapter I am highly invested. 1) Jack, your a dumbass to lurk around the house ITS PRIVATE PROPERTY, I'm genuinely suprised David was so welcoming to you. And 2) love how we were introduced to the other characters, especially Angel. This book is slowly starting to pick up for me

I made it to page 40 but forget to track it but also just forgot the plot in general so here goes nothing.
My personal issues is the constant use of "ands" in sentences, also the similes used are so...weird.

"...she looked nervous, like a freshman at the senior prom, unsure she'd worn the wrong dress. She hadn't. In another incarnation she carried word on her back."

Like huh?????.

I'm not sure if this has a Nancy Drew-type continuity to the series or each new book starts where the last book left off so not sure if that's why I feel confused(just decided to read a random book in the series and picked this one). Not really that impressed with the two characters or how the story quickly sets up and the use of similes either are weak or corny. Idk maybe the next chapters will hit better
