Wow, I haven't been this determined to finish a book due to the mystery behind its characters in a long while. Gripping and excellent shock value. Really well written with great suspense, and a fabulous twist. I only wish the ending had been extended more for plot value!

I feel like the author was trying so hard from the literal first sentence to scream "this book is dark and edgy" that it took away from the build of suspense and creepiness later in the book. I'm not sure I even really liked the book, but it definitely gripped me and I finished it in basically 2 days, the bulk being the second day where I meant to go to bed almost 2 hours earlier than I did because I needed to know what was going to happen. I didn't find any of the characters really redeemable or likable and I'm also one of the least maternal people ever and will never be having kids (currently 32 and child-free by choice and plan to stay that way), but I still found the parts about pregnancy and motherhood kind of disturbing at times. Which is what the author was going for anyway so she did her job but maybe too well. 

My biggest struggle is every character but the "villain" just seemed so boring and had almost no personality. And don't even get me started on the bonus chapter. I wish I had never read the bonus chapter because it just seems like it invalidates a lot of the book and makes it feel like even the author doesn't know who is actually in the wrong and who is responsible of what misdeeds by the end of her story. That and just how cringy and "millennial-white-woman-trying-to-be-unique" almost all the character's names were. Lowen, Chastin, Crew, wtf is this and why do they sound like lipstick shade names or names for furniture pieces at some high-end store?
