I had high hopes for this book going in and it lived up to my expectations 1,000%! It was dark, it was heavy, it was emotional, but it was so good. I could not turn off the audio and just devoured the whole thing.

This would be a 5 star read had the book been evenly paced. I loved the book, but had to skim some unnecessary parts.
