This is a great book. It’s definitely a page Turner. Huge plot twists and a heartbreaking ending that you would not expect. Recommend reading the rest of the series definitely a lot more things happen. One of my favourite books

Very dark and emotional, and sometimes hard to read, but definitely worth it. Had me sobbing by the end.
