Once I got into the story I couldn’t put it down. Definitely one of the best books that I’ve read in 2018. Dammit it was amazing and I can’t find words to explain it. Where has Tarryn Fisher been all my life?

I went into this novel having read many of Fisher's other novels, knowing there would be angst and lots of emotions but I was not prepared for what I got.
Waking up on her 33rd birthday, Senna discovers she has been abducted. Who is it? Why did they do it? And why have her mysterious companion doing there? Together the two have to figure out what is going on and how to get out all while surviving.
All of this book kept me on the edge of my seat. I wanted to know more, I needed to know more and you were given just enough to keep you going till the end.
This book punched me right in the gut and forced all the wind out of me. I was an emotional wreck. I connected with the characters. I connected with their emotions and it was like the author looked into the deepest parts of my own mud vein and wrote this.
People with mud vein's, no matter how big or small, even people with no mud vein's will love this story. Because it's not a story, it's you and the author knows you.

While the writing of this book is definitely worth 4 or 5 stars, my enjoyment of it was around a 2 (I just didn't think it was that believable and the characters were unlikeable!) so I averaged it at 3 ✨

favourite quote ever.

A heartbreakingly beautiful novel that will stay with me forever.

A love story (but not a love story) written in an anti-fairytale way. Absolutely loved it!

I. Loved. This. Book. (I rarely 5 star anything!)

The writing is beautiful and haunting. For me it wasn't really about the 'who done it' so the big reveal was neither here nor there. Interesting, but it didn't make or break the story.
That ending though.....It stings. It's going to haunt me for a while as I keep mulling over everything I've just read.
This was my first Tarryn book & I'll definitely be reading more.

Okay…what the actual *uck did I just read?!

Follow up question: why the hell did I wait so long to read it? Delay of game, foul on the play. I’m late AF to the party, I know, I know.

This was…a total mind *uck. So much so that I can’t actually rate this book. I’m too conflicted.

I loved so many parts of it.

But the plot was insanely unbelievable.

But I loved so many parts of it.

But the plot…gah!

Confused by this review? Me too. You should probably read this book anyway. I’d say go in blind, but I know you people love your content warnings…so, maybe go in cautiously? Either way, just go in. But bring a blanket.

High *ucking five, Ms. Fisher.

“La gente necesita sentirse conectado con los otros. No tiene nada de malo sentirse demasiado roto para afearse a eso.”

Sin palabras.

Este es EL LIBRO.

El libro que te hace sentir con cada página, con cada palabra. Incluso después de terminarlo puedo sentir cada una de las emociones que este libro refleja.

“Quiero lastimarte. Quiero que mis letras sean sal y quiero tirarlas en tu herida abierta.”

I don't why I didn't read this book sooner. review be up on le blog. look it up lazy ass.
