The whole first half was hard to read, and I feel like this book was a lot of telling instead of showing. The way her recovering from the abuse was weird and off putting. I just didn't love the book and thought it could have been better written with more care put into such a sensitive subject like sex trafficking and PTSD. If you are going to read definitely look at the content warning before doing so, it is very graphic at times.
