It’s okay. I appreciate the complexity behind the need to protect ones sister, and protecting oneself by reporting the crime. It’s not easy to be in that position and I believe it was portrayed well. 

Otherwise the book gets very repetitive and eventually you figure out where it’s going

Liked it! Unlike anything I've read before and I'm glad I picked it up. It's a short and fast read, and it did leave me wanting more so I think this is one that will require some quiet reflection. This would be a good book club book!

this book could have been good if it went deeper into everyone's psyches. as it is now, it's just average which is honestly a shame. also the author seems not to realize how not good of a person the main character is which doesn't help its case
