This book is incredibly short and long at the same time. It's a story of abuse, rape and pain. The main character Suzy felt real in her struggle, not made up by someone in their cozy room at home. Beautiful and raw, wow. 
But..at the end I wasn't really connected to the story because the amount of violence constantly threw me off, it seemed more like a shiny accessory to the plot. Honestly, we could've gotten to the point of the story without half of it. Also...the marketing of this book? Why portray it as a true crime story? Doesn't make sense to me.
Not a bad book, probably just not for me.
