Close Your Pretty Eyes by Sally Nicholls

4.0

It falls somewhere between young adult and adult. In a way it reminds me of [b:Room|7937843|Room|Emma Donoghue|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1344265419s/7937843.jpg|9585076] because as readers we definitely know more than the narrator/protagonist and it deals with serious issues such as abuse. But at the same time it was super creepy and maybe the narrator was reliable in some aspects. It kinda broke my heart with all the things Olivia experienced in the past. It's very dark. Well-written with very realistic characters. I didn't give it five stars because I wanted a little more to the ending but I can probably name about 5 books whose endings I liked...so authors work on endings, thanks!
