The stalking and sexual assault triggers are a bit too much.

This book seemed to drag a bit for the first half of it. It gives you the impression that you can predict what is going to happen and in some ways you absolutely can. The twists are not predictable, but with the way that the story is laid out, I found the twists more confusing than shocking and engaging. I had to look up a book explanation once I finished reading to make sense of it all and once I did, it felt like the story made less sense. The book wasn’t all bad though. I found the diary chapters very interesting and engaging. It was just not as exciting as I had hoped overall.
