loved the concept, but I didn't connect with any of the characters and I just didn't feel immersed in their world. I really wanted to like this one but it just didn't work for me.

I got really roped into this book while reading it. I couldn't put it down, and it kept me up at night.

The ending was very anticlimactic, and the desciptions are quite graphic

I don’t think I’ve ever ripped through a book faster in my life. I’m still reeling. I have so much to process, but I’m also really glad a read this. Such a raw story about strong girls.
