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.

tinysierra's review against another edition

dark emotional mysterious fast-paced

4.0

• Very fast paced and intriguing
• Alternates between past and present
• Bisexual main character
• Nora and her friends have gone through a lot of trauma with abusive family members and/or partners, so the book is heavy on the aspects of trauma and survival. 
• Nora, Wes and Iris are all intriguing characters! I think it would be cool if Iris and Wes had their own books. I liked Nora and Iris’s relationship.
• Iris has endometriosis. It was cool to see that represented in the book.

i’m a big fan of morally ambiguous main characters so i thoroughly enjoyed this book. i felt like the characters’ reactions to their trauma was very realistic given their need to just continue living despite
