As a someone who has experienced different kinds of abuse and trauma, I very much related with many themes. I would recommend looking through warnings and triggers contained here if you'd like to read, some themes may be upsetting for other survivors of similar experiences. I recommend to all however.

The book itself was so good, but I also had so many problems with the characters.
Obviously, Strane was just a motherfucker who deserved to go to jail the first time around. The fact that he basically got caught multiple times but always got away with everything just annoyed the heck out of me. I wanted to jump into the pages and beat him up. He annoyed the shit out of me and I wish there was justice for everything that he did.
Not many people are talking about what happened with Vanessa and Henry Plough. I know that there wasn't really much that happened between the two of them, but there was just something off about him. He was basically kind of doing the same things as Strane, but it didn't get as far because she stopped it before it escalated.
Vanessa herself was a very complicated character. I know she is a survivor of something traumatic, though she herself didn't believe it. She just really annoyed me at times and I wanted to just SMACK some sense into her.
Even when he would say stuff like, "I just want to make sure there aren't any stray fires that need putting out." Like that line right there is a MAJOR RED FLAG!!
