Please read the trigger warnings on this book. 

This book is meant to give you complicated feelings and raise questions in your mind. It would make a great book club read if your book club is okay with the dark and twisty. If you are looking for a thriller this isn’t quite that. Definitely gives you the psychological and the “twist” at the end but no thrill. Be ready for a complicated ick feeling after finishing.

3.5 emotional read and lots to talk about but there was many parts of the story I just found unnecessary.
