I'm going with 3.5 stars. The writing is impeccable and very much so has you invested and turning pages. This left me constantly on the line to DNF or to push through to the end to know the full story. I went into this book super blind and I came out of it wishing I could pretend I never opened the first page. This book is very.... Icky.
It needs about 3-4 pages of content warnings as this book can be very triggering.
