Definitely check trigger warnings! This book was good with an unpredictable twist. It drug in some spots and the chapters were too long for my preference, but I still flew through this book. I was hesitant to pick it up since Pretty Girls by the same author was such a let down, but this book did not disappoint. Again, check trigger warnings before reading

Well written with characters I liked. But man oh man was it a hard book to get through. What these characters went through is just awful and really challenging to read about, especially since the writing was so good. Almost too good, I felt I lived through the traumatic events. Some of the worst scenes are revisited/relived multiple times, I almost couldn't take it anymore. Really compelling characters though, which kept me going. Will be looking at more books by this author but not sure I can recommend this particular one given the traumatic plot.
