 I can’t wait to make this book my personality for the next three weeks lmao.

Absolutely amazing, really well written in every aspect and an incredible portrayal of what abuse can do to people and how it can come in many different forms.

I bought this book a while ago and even though not that much time has passed i’ve definitely changed as a person. past me probably would have rated this book higher, it definitely was enjoyable but not really my cup of tea anymore.

For someone who has read probably like one or two thrillers in her life, I enjoyed this!

This is a thriller with teenagers that was well written, well paced and well constructed. I liked this straight forward writing. I liked the storytelling.
I didn't get that much attached to the characters except for Nora but I was surprised that it didn't bother me that much.
Nora's story (and her sister's) is tough. This book was darker than I thought it'd be, as it is the story of an abuse (of all kind) survivor who went through horrifying things.
Truthfully, I don't have much to say. I had a good time, I'm glad I had my bisexual and endometriosis representation, and I'm glad I tried the thriller genre.
