At first the plot seemed a bit out there. A woman believes a girl from her past is responsible for all the things that are wrong in her own life now, so she decides to stalk her. I changed my thinking rather quickly though, as the actions she took felt completely doable, especially for someone determined to get revenge.
I figured out one of the "surprises", though honestly maybe the reader is supposed to know that?
