Dark- WTF?
Mona- What are you doing!!!!
Everyone else- You’re just as weird and as bad as them.

Love how the cover resembles Mona’s bush. That made me laugh after the few times she mentioned it’s shape.

For some reason, this was not what I was expecting at ALL. Very intriguing and difficult to put down. However, I rarely like when trauma suddenly appears out of nowhere in books. I feel unprepared and like the story isn't getting handled with enough care. This book had a lot of that, which was really well written and made complete sense (as trauma often does just that, appear out of nowhere). Just not for me. Still worth reading!
