I’ve read this book twice and i read it just as fast each time. It is very interesting and hard to put down, also because it has short chapters, making it easy to get through. One of my favourite books and i’m sure i will come back and read it again in the future. Highly reccommend.

i Love books that have timelines that move from one point to another because its confusing a little at first but then it gets less confusing as the book progresses and suddenly youre at the end and the book is over but somehow you still know just as much as you did in the beginning . that is true literature i think - being able to communicate everything but also nothing at all 

the open ending kind of did me in but i understood why it happened because i honestly truly did not see how everything was going to work out . 

i also loved the continued referral to the other girls that she's been and the anticlimactic revelation of her real name because although she awarded it sooo much importance , she finally realized that it did not even matter because the name ( and life and family ) that she chose for herself were what truly mattered actually . 

 

a very interesting read

An amazing book about trust, abuse, trauma and surviving. I couldn't put this book down, the plot and the characters kept me reading for hours. I usually don't like thriller books but this probably became one of my favorites. The author managed to keep a certain lightness through the whole book despite the heavy topics, applauds for that.
