An incredibly dark story about abuse but honestly, an incredibly fun read. The subject matter itself is dark but the book is a thrill ride from start to finish.

An amazing book about trust, abuse, trauma and surviving. I couldn't put this book down, the plot and the characters kept me reading for hours. I usually don't like thriller books but this probably became one of my favorites. The author managed to keep a certain lightness through the whole book despite the heavy topics, applauds for that.

4.5 Stars: This book was so intense! There are some graphic scenes so that can jar you out of the action. I would definitely love to see this adapted. The bi representation on top of it and how neither partner made her feel bad for how she loved them each in their own way and for different reasons. It made me so happy that love was the core once she had them. 

Families can be defined in different ways and this book shows you how people can cope and survive was perfect.
