It was a good well written fast read. Only reason I didn’t give it four stars is that I felt the ending wrapped up almost too perfectly for how horrific the dark parts were.

I enjoyed reading this book, although I figured out what had happened and put the pieces together very quickly. I believe that might have been intentional though. I felt so many emotions reading this and it definitely had some very dark parts. I was shedding some tears at the end of it. Overall a great read!
