I felt like this book started a bit slow, but once you get into the story it really was a page turner.  Josie is so unhinged, but you can’t look away from her.  There are very dark themes of pedophilia, abuse and alcoholism, so I wouldn’t say this was an enjoyable/fun read but you definitely get sucked in.

I feel like the ending was written so the reader had the ability to choose how they interpreted the story and what happened after it ended,  however I feel like I would have preferred a more concrete finale.
