This was fine. I had higher hopes for it and honestly I probably should've adjusted them down as I was definitely thinking of this story told to a new adult audience not a young adult audience. The main character imo is pretty unlikable and her inner monologue becomes VERY repetitive. I actually like the last 15% or so od this book way more than the beginning 85% but I do not plan to listen to the sequel.

I could barely put this book down. I love the way the author wove together the present story with glimpses of the past. It also had just the right ratio of danger to problem solving, so the situation never felt too hopeless. Overall I thought it was very well done and an enjoyable read.

Its rather heavy on the domestic/sexual abuse. Its also based around being hostages in a bank robbery.
