4.0

Psychological thriller/drama/erotica. 

This book made me thoroughly enjoy being uncomfortable. There’s so many dark elements to it but the overall plot is fascinating and leaves you unsure what will happen at any given moment. 

It’s one of those books where you’re not sure if you can trust hard facts and then proves you right at the end.

Lots of sex that’s written in an excruciatingly uncomfortable but somehow still sexy way. 

It also falls into a weird category of I-don’t-like-the-main-character-but-I’m-still-routing-for-her, even though usually I can’t stand books like that. 

Honestly, I think it’s my favourite Colleen Hoover book so far. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s better, but the horror undertones and overall uneasy plot appeals to the horror movie fan in me massively.

I have a feeling of emptiness after reading the book. I need to know what else, what more? So many theories and questions swirl my mind.
