some pretty heavy trigger warnings in this book! it was a good slow burn read with twists and turns everywhere. some parts were very dark and difficult to get through, but overall it was worth the read.

This book was executed perfectly. I thought I was not going to like it but the ending swept me up and left me wondering what all actually happened. The layout of the book was so artistic. It was one the best audiobook I have ever heard.

Though I had an idea going in where the story was headed (the title in and of itself ensures you go in with a healthy dose of skepticism), I was immediately invested and couldn’t put down.

I liked the pacing of the book up until near the ending. Like a lot of people, it left with ambiguous feelings.
