Hmm..this was a tough one to rate. The book definitely wasn’t what I was expecting. It’s really dark and difficult to read periodically throughout, but I feel like the story itself is very different. The narrative through Sally’s eyes really was interesting. I found myself getting frustrated at her & with her at the same time lol 

I’ve seen a lot of reviews saying that they didn’t love the ending. Personally, I felt it was a really appropriate & more realistic ending, which I appreciated. 

I do think there should’ve been more clearly identified trigger warnings for the book as it covers a LOT of difficult topics.
