Being part of this exciting new world starts to excite Katy and brings out a side to her she never knew existed. She starts to take an interest in how she looks each day, starts to wear high heels and actually looks forward to getting into the office. She is generally wowed by everything about Byrsa, the company that Riley created, and the whole city lifestyle.
Is Katy a reliable narrator? I wasn’t sure, and couldn’t decide if I liked her at first. But as you start to get to know her and her background you start to understand that she carries some heavy personal baggage which has an impact on her general outlook and motivation. I enjoyed her transformation, how she’s inspired and attracted by this intelligent, sassy and somewhat mysterious CEO. Seeing how dedicated Riley is to delivering something truly worthwhile, rather than being driven by profits has such a positive impact on Katy.
This book was really easy to get into and I quickly got absorbed by Katy’s curiosity as the story began to unfold. I’m not going to include any spoilers in here, but I have to say this book has a twist with an impact that I’d liken to Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn. I really didn’t see it coming and it totally transforms the story that leaves you turning the page quicker and quicker to find out where it’s all heading - and how it might end.
