I just really liked this one. Unreliable narrators, peeling layers, satisfying ending.
It is really frustrating to read about a woman in a situation like this, though. Like, girl, stand up for yourself! I also understand that's it's very complex emotionally and psychologically. In some ways, it's also nice to read a novel with a villain I can hate so much.
