The only reason I finished this book was to not have the last scene I read be something so gross. Why would anyone willingly want to read something so dark and awful? A friend had us read the book and I had no warning for the disturbing content. I hated every second and sped read it. The partial star is for the good writing, which I believe the author wasted on this crap and makes it all the more tragic they decided to put something like this out into the world. I will never reccomend. (Some) Spoilers ahead: Its obvious the author thinks men/the patriarchy is evil. Main character is a door mat. I don't care that she grows a spine at the last second I would have enjoyed slamming my head against a wall more than reading this. Her sisters were tropes with zero depth. Also, there is enough violence and sexual asault against women in the real world, I don't need to read about it in detail. There is nothing but darkness and evil in this story and I would be ashamed to be the author that put something like this into the world. What a gross book. I doubt anyone who has read this could say "wow, I'm so glad I read that book. I feel so much better."

I’m so sorry, the girls that get it get it, the girls that don’t, don’t. It’s me I’m the girl that doesn’t get it.
READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS BOOK. Honestly it felt very aimless and I wasn’t really sure where the story was even going. I almost DNF it but I read to the end just to see how it ended. All the writing was really well done and descriptive but this book is not for me. Maybe because it’s more slow paced? Or like I don’t get the gothic horror references?? I dont knoww
