This one was a tough one for me. I didnt love the SA or the pregnancy that followed. It is just not my thing to read about. However it followed the typical freida formula and kept me guessing throughout. I did enjoy having Polly's POV for most of the book vs Tegan's and that the murder doesn't happen when you expected it to. Other than that I really just can't get over the whole book plot of the book is about a pregnancy as a result of SA. That was a real turn off for me. Also for an Author to make the reader have to go online to find the trigger warnings is not right. Especially for a topic as strong as this the warnings should be laid out plainly at the start of the book. Plus it shows her lack of awareness to accessibility as some people may not access to the internet or difficulty accessing it hence why they are reading the physical book.
