Everyone is damaged and nobody is a saint here. It feels like you’re going in circles over and over because each chapter has a different person telling their point of view about the same incident but each time it reveals something deeper and darker and truly horrific.

This book wasn't what I expected and it kept surprising me. They handled a few topics in ways I wasn't the biggest fan of, but overall it was written in and interesting way and I didn't see the twists coming.

Confessions is a relentless read about the repercussions and reprisals of revenge. Warning this book won’t let you out of its savage grasp even after its last page. This one will stay with me.

✨ Reread ✨

I found this book on my old bookshelf and knew I had to reread it 😂

I am giving it a slightly lower rating than last time, as I found the translations clumsy, but I still loved reading it all the same. I also completely forgot what happened at the end last time, but I knew I found it compelling to read (hence the reread).

The bomb going off made me audibly gasp! 😳

4 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
