DNF @ pg. 50. I can't get past the family's reactions and what does Charlotte's situation have to do with this?

Wow. Just wow.
This book was so difficult at times. It's graphic. It drudges up the ugliest parts of rape and the investigation that surrounds Jenny Cramer's. It talks about the desire to forget, but the importance of remembering and living through trauma. It's so important but challenging to hear, especially if you're a survivor of sexual assault.
The end will really twist the knife in your gut. You won't be sure where something in the book is going until you get to the end and then everything comes at you full force. I highly, highly recommend this book.

Crazy twists and turns with an ending that I did not see coming!

This book is another one of Wendy's books that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I am a massive fan of an excellent psychological mystery-type story. This being told from the psychiatrist's perspective was great because while we got a first-person account, it was from the view of someone analyzing those around them.
Wendy knows how to get a person to sit and pay attention to what they are reading because if you do not, you will miss out on some essential information.

The main plot was quite interesting and a kind which makes you excited for more as you read through the book.
The plot went a bit off track at the end, tumbling down the spiral. Could have been better, but the ending overall was mundane.
Was expecting a better and more twisted ending.
The plot twist kept me hooked up.
Overall journey through the book was fair and nice.

This was an interesting story about providing a drug to a young girl who was raped, hoping to erase her memory of the event, and the psychiatrist helping her to recover that memory. It is tensely written and very psychological. The entire family has many secrets and demons from which they are trying to recover.
