So glad to be an only child…

I kind of predicted a plot point but some parts had me gagggeeed, honestly finished this in 2 days I couldn’t put it down. So worth it? 

I wouldn’t say I loved any character tbh, some are tragic some are overwhelmingly antagonistic but that’s the point I suppose..? 

Personally the plot is so rich and the writing is so easy and well done. The story isn’t as disturbing and deplorable as the other reviews said tbh, it’s just.. a fucked up story…? Maybe I’m desensitized idek but this is one of those books that you remember on a random Tuesday afternoon.

I couldn't put this book down! Everything I tried, the chapters would end on such a cliff hanger, I was begging for more. 

I really enjoyed that each chapter either had it's own subplot or answered some questions while adding more. There were multiple twists I didn't see coming at all. I found the main characters to be well written with arguably one of the best villains I've ever encountered in a book.
