I listened to the audiobook version of this story and I did enjoy it.
I enjoyed that it was broken into 2 parts - the before and after. Having so much back story in the before made the after make sense. Some people might scoff at the fact that it was so long (15 hours) but if you’re going to tackle a big issue, you need to make sure the timelines are believable.
While I enjoyed the whole touch-her-and-die vibe that the MMC gave off, some aspects didn’t make sense to me. For example, when her stalker finally caught up with her in Chicago based on one photo, it made her whole “I changed my name and slipped away and no one noticed” back story seem ridiculous. Especially considering her 2 best friends didn’t change any of their info…
There’s a lot to this story and if you are triggered by rape and physical abuse, this is not the one for you, but I think the author handled the topic fairly well.
