3.0

I don't really know how to rate this book. I am deeply uncomfortable. I wish the characters weren't written so well, so I could say I hated it. The whole book is powerful and unsettling, but the last 20% is peak feminine rage that punches you in the face and spits on you. You should read it if that's your thing.

Not for the squeamish, a twisted tale of female rage and revenge. Please mind the trigger warnings. 👁️👁️
