I don’t think I have ever written a review before, but this is only getting two stars because the writing style was enjoyable to me. The plot was a huge miss. The plot twists would have been interesting if they were developed more, or actually made sense upon reread. Felt like the author didn’t proof read her work.

The epilogue completely shattered an otherwise fantastic read. Dark and gripping to some sense of vindication gets shredded to ribbons in a convoluted gotcha twist ending that ruins otherwise decent characters and makes no logistical sense. Also the shoe thing was exhausting.

If you are a teacher, I wouldn’t recommend this — the major plot points regarding relationships will turn your stomach.
