This book was actually really good. There were a couple of twists, I saw a few of them coming, but the end one got me good. I did not expect that ending at all. It was a wild ride and I loved having it come from the perspective of Anna, she seemed a tad unreliable because of the pills and the alcohol but it made it super interesting.

This book mad me cry, it made me angry, and it surprised me SEVERAL times. The characters were realistic, and its rare I can praise a man for writing from the perspective of a female character so well.
