I loved this book despite the many trigger warnings it comes with. She has such a way with words that has you feeling like you're right there. You picture the scenes and even the smells. Quite a few you wish you didn't picture because of how disturbing they are. Sam, Charlie, Rusty, and Gamma will live rent free in my mind. I went through so many emotions during this book and cried a few times. This is definitely a rollercoaster with twists and turns I didn't see coming.

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.

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.
