dark slow-paced

• Loveable characters? No

3.5

I don’t know if I’d say this wasn’t a great book, but I just didn’t enjoy it at all. It covers some very heavy material, and it wasn’t what I was expecting.

Fantastic. So hard to recommend because of heavy trigger warnings.  I want to go back and reread because of the twist but not sure I can?  I borrowed it from the library but will probably buy a copy just in case I can get the nerve to read again.
