This is one of the most gut wrenching books I have ever read. Just about every twist and turn absolutely wrecked me, and my heart broke for Annie with every chapter. 

I'd give anything to read it for the first time again, ngl.

a very dark book, author did a good job with keeping you hooked but honestly

annie having sex with gary and then having it allude to them maybe dating at the end

really took me out of it. i literally skipped those pages i was so annoyed. definitely pay attention to trigger warnings if you want to read this !

I enjoyed this, and the twist was good. But I hated, HATED the parts of the book where she was speaking directly to her therapist. She was written as a totally different person. In those sections, she was sarcastic and had a dry, dark sense of humor. It just didn’t jive with the way she was written in the rest of the book. Overall, engaging and well written. Just weird.
