Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.
BA Paris has been on my radar for a while, but this is the first of hers I’ve read. I thought this book was really great and look forward to reading more of hers. She pulls off the present/past timeline shift between chapters, which is tough to do.
Amelie is 19 and struggling. She’s desperate to go to college, so when her wealthy boss offers to marry her, divorce her within a month, and pay her $100,ooo she takes him up on it. How bad can it be to be married to him for a month? I’ll give you one guess.
Amelie is then kidnapped with no idea why or by whom. As the reader learns more about her past in the flashback chapters, we learn of the messes her husband has made. Amelie was a great character. Even though she is young, she was strong and fought for everything. She also had a good moral compass. Highly enjoyed this one.
