This book evoked such strong emotions in me. It was dark and hard to read (for the content) and I spent a fair bit of it holding my breath and crying. I can’t count the amount of times I had to put the book down, have a breather and then jump back in because I had to know she’d be alright. It was such a powerful story and showed how complex human emotion is. Tough subject matter, but a must read.

Such an important book to me. Really tough subject, but it's really well written. You can clearly see the manipulation in the book (I hope) and the way Strane made Vanessa think she was the one to blame.
