The plot of the book was great! It was fairly face paced and you wanted to know what was going to happen next. The ending was a bit lackluster compared to the rest of book. There wasn’t enough for what happened to John.

This book literally made me feel physically faint at some of the descriptions, and I am NOT a queasy person. What a lovely, terrible look into Stockholm Syndrome. idc what the people are saying, that shits real.
