The first 50% of the book took me so long to read. I was so lost, didn't understand the world or what was happening.
It took me a while to enjoy Bryce & Hunt. I took it like watching trashy TV - trying not to take the book too seriously.
SJM is good at making relationships - or else none of us would be here. I liked the slow reveal of Bryce to Hunt.
The drug bust with Hunt on the boat - what the hell? I'm still confused on this, it felt so out of character. Like he did this strange thing and then went back to the Hunt we knew before. I saw a comment on reddit - he did it out of desperation for his freedom with his relationship with Bryce. I don't know.
That ending was phenomenal, enlightening, shocking, amazing! SJM is fantastic in that last 10-15% of the book. I was unable to put the book down, the fast paced action, the heavy emotions - it's the stuff I eat up from SJM.
I wish the book wasn't so long but I loved the journey in the end.
