Suspiciously well-written. This was really good but makes you feel weird saying that.

The book really dives deep into the mind of a creepy person, giving a different take on a disturbing topic. Even though it made me cringe a bit, the story was interesting and had me hooked. I couldn’t believe I was actually enjoying it! It’s like, the more twisted it got, the more I couldn’t put it down. It made me feel a bit gross at times. 

Alissa Nutting might write about the most disgusting topic ever, but she’s still a wonderful writer. She’s the only reason this book gets 4 stars and that says a lot considering what it’s based upon.

tavaughn's review

The writing wasn’t awful, but it is so long and drawn out. It seems like there is no plot halfway through. If there is, it’s not an interesting one.
