The setting? Somewhat interesting. The plot? Quite fascinating. The characters? Can't say I cared for them. The writing? Not good.

So basically it comes down to the writing being repetitive, sort of "childish" (can't find the right word to explain it exactly), and quite cringe at times. Which sucks because it wasn't an awful plot to follow.

Brilliant book! I was hooked from the start. You can't stop reading it because you want to know what happens next and you're always on the edge of your seat. My only complaint is that

Raymond Keane didn't die in the end.

This had some dark stuff in it, so definitely check the trigger warnings. It was so interesting though! Both the timeline of the current situation and the trickle history of how the MC got to that point. 

I hated the mother and wanted to bitch slap the friends for their response to some things that were beyond Nora's control (of course she would keep stuff like this from you, you have no right to be butt hurt when people with unpleasant pasts don't share). But the reactions were realistic, loathe as I am to admit it.

Actually, it was rather impressive writing that made me so angry over things not real people did to other not real people, when I think about it. Definitely going to check out others books by this author.

Would not recommend for under 16s. That is my only flaw (stated as suitable for 12-18 on Amazon).

 I can’t wait to make this book my personality for the next three weeks lmao.

Absolutely amazing, really well written in every aspect and an incredible portrayal of what abuse can do to people and how it can come in many different forms.
