4.5

I started this book last evening and finished it this morning. Though short, I was completely immersed in the narrative from beginning to end. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style and loved the exploration of themes in womanhood, desperation, resiliency, friendship, life, loneliness and human nature overall. 

I thought the ending was both tragic and perfect for the storyline. I can see how this book may not be for everyone but it was right up my alley
