Too many sentences start with she and the ending seemed like it skipped something abruptly.  In other books, I expect a jump to down the road in the future, it feels like the right place.  In this book, it didn't feel like the right place.  It felt like I missed something.

2.0

This is the most gruesome traumatic story I've ever read.
There was no need to retell the trauma 3x with increasing detail. My mental health did not need this. How this book has an over 4 star rating is shocking and disappointing. I'm giving this 2 stars because the writing is good, but the logic is faulty at worst and unlikely at best, and the traumatic repetition made me deeply dislike the book.
