I loved the story. It was compelling, mysterious, and even though I sensed very early on of who was the person behind it all, it still kept me on my toes until the end. The characters are very morally qustionable and my feelings toward some of them are, well, complicated. I love them, I understand them yet I don’t quite condone them. The only thing that kind of struck me as a tad too exaggerated were some of the relationships and the conversations. I know they had to be as strong for the story to make sense, but it didn’t stop me from cringing at some parts.

Seriously, the conversations between Shane and Ruby made me want to barf at times.

I did, however, like the way the book touched certain triggering topics.

But seriously, Ruby, get help. Like, professional one.
