⚠️TW/CW: Death (children and adults), gore, body horror, suicide, sexual assault, murder, and sexual harassment⚠️
This book was unbelievable. Like... I don't even know what to say... Well for starters I will definitely be reading some more books by this author because holy shit. The way this book is written and the way things are described... disgusting (in a good way). I felt so many emotions during this book. I felt sad, shocked, disgusted, horrified, and even sick at some points. The relationship between the sisters didn't help. It's such an animalistic and uncomfortable relationship and it feels right at home in this book. The twists towards the end of this book had be screaming at the book. I had to take multiple breaks because my heart was racing. I would also just like to throw in that I started this book a week before I went on vacation where I didn't read anything and I would still constantly think about this book. After the vacation I picked the book back up and I was immediately invested all over again. This book was so good I remembered all the details the whole month later! I definitely won't be able to describe how amazing this book is because I would be typing for literal hours because there are so many things I want to talk about. So instead of typing all that take this review as a sign to pick up this book!
