4.0

I really enjoy this author's writing. This isn't my favorite from the author but I still think it's good and I enjoyed it even though the ending made me sad. It is multiple pov with characters being very distinct from each other so it was easy to follow. Check trigger/content warnings for this for sure as the main theme in this book is sexual assault/rape/rape culture.

Be aware that this book has pretty much all the trigger warnings. It is a really hard read but also beautiful and haunting and will linger in my head for a long time to come.
