An incredibly dark story about abuse but honestly, an incredibly fun read. The subject matter itself is dark but the book is a thrill ride from start to finish.

I bought this book a while ago and even though not that much time has passed i’ve definitely changed as a person. past me probably would have rated this book higher, it definitely was enjoyable but not really my cup of tea anymore.

I couldn't put this one down. Going back and forth between past and present really draws you in.

An amazing book about trust, abuse, trauma and surviving. I couldn't put this book down, the plot and the characters kept me reading for hours. I usually don't like thriller books but this probably became one of my favorites. The author managed to keep a certain lightness through the whole book despite the heavy topics, applauds for that.

For someone who has read probably like one or two thrillers in her life, I enjoyed this!

This is a thriller with teenagers that was well written, well paced and well constructed. I liked this straight forward writing. I liked the storytelling.
I didn't get that much attached to the characters except for Nora but I was surprised that it didn't bother me that much.
Nora's story (and her sister's) is tough. This book was darker than I thought it'd be, as it is the story of an abuse (of all kind) survivor who went through horrifying things.
Truthfully, I don't have much to say. I had a good time, I'm glad I had my bisexual and endometriosis representation, and I'm glad I tried the thriller genre.
