roguestargazer11's review against another edition

It was too depressing, the characters weren't very likable, a lot of the plot was unbelievable, and it left me with such an icky feeling, especially up to the point where I stopped. I feel like I wasted so much time reading this book for zero payoff. The mystery part wasn't even very intriguing, which was a big let-down.

Spoilers!

Once she was raped, and I found out the witnesses testified against her in court, rather than helping her when they saw something happen, I had to stop reading.

I can take a certain amount of depressing events in a book I'm reading for fun, but that was the last straw for me.

Jag VET att ALLA och deras mammor absolut avgudar den här boken men jag kom inte längre än halvvägs! Stäm mig! Spärra in mig! Gör va fan ni vill! För jag menar det! Så fruktansvärt tråkig och verkligen jättetraumatisk bara, massa onödig sorg och heltenkelt ångestladdad (INTE på det bra sättet). Hjälper ju inte att författaren är galet problematisk, men antar att den var lite fint skriven eller nått
