My gripes aren't really that big. Really, the main one is that Lynette can be so maddening to read at times. She is so traumatized that living in her head was sometimes suffocating and insufferable. I had some issues with her as a character too, but that didn't necessarily affect my enjoyment of the book because my enjoyment does not usually hinge on a protagonist being likable. Something that was hard for me throughout the book was keeping track of every girl's story. I wrote down what I could, but some girls in the group got lost in the shuffle. I cannot definitively tell you what Heather's backstory is as a result of this. Just a LOT going on.

The only gripe I have is that I personally realised the perpetrator very early on. It was also a little confusing to try and work out which last girl some of the additional information was about between chapters but that could have been intentional. All in all a very solid read and I’d definitely recommend… but only if you have a strong stomach because it’s DARK. No graphic sexual violence but there is a lot of very gory moments. Particularly in the flashbacks.
