While the theme is intense, this was a quick easy read, which I appreciated. I did enjoy the book, but feel like the ending seemed a lil rushed, which may have been what  she was going for. I found myself wanting more conflict in the end.

super fast and engaging read. good characters and plot. twist came early but still had a good ending twist. ending was good but cliffhanger-y (more or less of Lisa’s style)
