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!
