1.0

The first chapter of this book was engaging, but it went downhill from there. There is so much repetition that it felt like the author was trying to pad the page count of a novella to become a full novel. It was also way too dark for my taste and the characters didn’t feel like real people to me.

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.
