3.0

Although i did enjoy this book and stayed up way past my bedtime to find out how it ends, i almost DNF less than half way through. I think it is because the more interesting stuff (in my opinion) was few and far between, and as much as you get to know the main character…..shes the only one who is telling this story. Overall it kept me coming back for more, but I wouldn’t say it was one of my favorites.

Brilliant. I devoured this book so quickly - from page one I was hooked and there was not a single boring or pointless moment in the plot. I felt so much for our main character, I was angry and sad and felt claustrophobic and terrified. Will Dean is quickly becoming my favorite author and I cannot believe I haven't heard anyone talk about this book, it deserves all the praise!

Hard to rate such a harrowing story - I read it in one sitting and was hooked by the pace, particularly at the end.

dark emotional tense

5.0

Type of book that is so heartbreaking and will stay with you for a long time. Love the way the book was written, and allows you to feel every emotion that the main character is feeling. Easy 5 stars.
