I’ve never seen marital infidelity be so innocuous. I guess that’s just relative to stalking, rape, torture, murder, and human trafficking. This book is pretty dark. The darkness brought out a very specific and personal darkness in the protagonists, which made them compelling and believable. This is a great read but it is the antithesis of enjoyable or relaxing. I’m glad I read it but I’m also relieved to be done reading it.

Be aware, TW//graphic sexual violence, torture, murder

perfection! this book was insane, it made me feel so many different things. i was engaged from the beginning until the last sentence. i enjoyed the relationships and dynamics between the characters. the plot wasn’t overly predictable which i liked. the story is very well written and i’m gonna recommended to others the same way my friend kellen recommended it to me!!
