“Punishment is white. Revenge is red. Mine was bloody-black.”

Part 1 starts slow, but everything changes with part 2 that makes it worth it!

There was a lot of hype surrounding this book and while it’s good, it’s not jaw dropping. The twists were great but started becoming predictable (maybe I just read too many thrillers). In my opinion it was also VERY drawn out, it could’ve ended about 2 hours earlier. Over all it kept my interest but it wasn’t spectacular.

overall would recommend. i didn’t love some of the writing in part three, i was kinda confusing to follow along with when the professor found out the situation and if he had any ideas he knew in old bow.  but i loved the POV from dianne and grunger (even though i find him icky). i wish they gave a pov from tonya and the grandmom not sure how i feel that she spent her life with two people who weren’t her parents.
