The first half of this book was absolutely incredible. I read the first two hundred pages in one sitting. However, after the trial, a lot of the plot began to grow unbelievable and unconvincing. Some things that happened were outside of one’s character traits, or just didn’t make sense, and that pulled me out of the story. I still enjoyed it, and I think a lot of the themes and overall messages discussed in the Q&A session are especially important in reading this book, especially when it comes to understanding trauma and survivorship.

4.0

If I had to describe this book, I would say that it starts as a gothic romance and quickly turns into a thriller. It's a wonderfully written, engaging read. While it does come with heavy content warnings (this book is explicitly about traumatic items), it avoids depicting those events in titillating ways - it's appropriate horrific and something to escape. The ending made me feel complicated, as it

still leans back on acceptance of religion as the path to healing

. However, this is built up as a theme throughout the book, so it doesn't come as a surprise or fall flat - it's just a theme I don't care for.
