This is an intense and gripping thriller with each detail more shocking than the last. The switching of perspectives can get a little confusing sometimes and the timeline isn’t always clear, but the MC’s perseverance is incredible. What I didn’t like was the author’s tendency to describe her expression as anything but a smile. It got tedious after a while.

Very engaging.  This had so many disturbing moments. It was interesting how the gardner could justify what he was doing and how he felt entitled to the beauty of women.  It is horrifying to realize that (some) men think beauty and sex seemed to be owed to them.....

I think the “twist” at the end was a little unnecessary and ruined it a little for me, but still a very enjoyable read!
