This book is a special kind of unhinged. Think "You" but less stabby stabby more bat guano cray. It was delightfully disturbing though a bit drawn out and solely focused on the unstable FMC.

Graphic: Stalking and Mental illness

Moderate: Drug use

Minor: Sexual assault, Child death, and Murder

This is a dark thriller that can be potentially triggering for some.

If you've ever been stalked, dealt with child loss (i.e. child drowning) or had substances put in your drink at a party + taken advantage of

this may be a hard read.

There is no justice at the end

Interesting idea for a book. Started out so well, but ended up being disappointing. Had so much potential. Did not enjoy the ending.
