Probably more true to life than we want to admit. Bitter Sweet starts with a revealing exposé, settling the reader into the mind of Nina, a student escort. Forbes made a brave choice selecting an escort as the protagonist, and by being so intensely in her head and emotions, he gives us a story far removed from cliché.The story is a red-hot thriller with the pace slowly and steadily increasing, interrupted with lulls to let the reader catch their breath before being hurled yet again into violence, despair, or hot-pursuit.All the elements of crime fiction along with social issues have been blended together to create a compelling, challenging and intense first-rate thriller.
