Nope. This was a big nope for me. Nothing in this book kept me wanting to read more. Not because the author is a bad writer, because she is not a bad writer, just the whole Alice in Wonderland theming killed it for me. One word: Bored.
I tried to care about Ellis/Dolly and Heathen/Rabbit but I just didn't. I couldn't even convince myself that I felt sympathy for them. This is all probably a me issue. I don't love Alice in Wonderland and then adding that it as the main characters strongest traits really just put me off. Both Ellis and Heathen have fucked up lives and that's about all that stuck with me. Also if I had to hear about Heathen's black heart cracking one more time, I was going to throw the book.
So this book wasn't for me but it could be for others. On level of dark, it's not the darkest thing I've read. Yea, fucked up things happened in this book but some of the stuff that I would deem "dark" weren't talked about in detail vs other books of read (i.e. Hunting Adeline).
