This is a hard book to rate bc I couldn’t put it down. It was dark and heavy and the ending gave us NOTHING. I’m upset but i was thoroughly entertained so???

challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

This book was not for me. I felt like it was written solely for the shock value. I hated all the characters. There was one shocking twist that was good I suppose but overall just couldn’t wait to be done with it. It is a bleak and depressing story.

The most disturbing thing I’ve ever read. I cannot not recommend this enough. You should not read this unless you are 100% committed to feeling drained and shitty.

Seriously. This isn’t a clever tease. I’d skip it if I were you...especially if you’re a parent. (Shudders)
