I loved this, but hated it at the same time. The pacing and writing was amazing, and the story was so unsettling. I loved that we got to know the inner thoughts of each character. However, a lot of the things in here seemed unnecessary to me and very triggering. Definitely read about trigger warning before diving in. I skipped a lot of pages because the content was triggering to me, but still overall enjoyed the read!
