I honestly don’t even know how to review this book. It made my stomach unsettled. I was nauseous throughout. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. This book can be highly triggering so just keep that in mind. Agustina’s mind while writing this book is just brilliant and dark. It’s a read that will make you continuously think about its plot overtime. This one will stick with you.
