This book is a wild ride. Not only do you go through every emotion while reading but it made me have to stop and walk away just to process what I read. The writing was done well, the characters and story line are phenomenal. I highly recommend but also not for the faint of heart. There are multiple triggers in this book so please look into them before diving in

The story was different and interesting. But a little too dark for me to want to read it again or recommend it. I appreciated the twists 

Trigger warnings should have been stated at the beginning of the book.
