I really enjoyed this book, and the ending was truly satisfying. It did seem to drag at times, but I finished this entire book in one night. It's a captivatingly tragic story, and it hooked me till the end. I would NOT suggest reading this book if you are sensitive to topics like rape or sexual assault—be sure to read the content warnings! Overall, this was a very sad book whose avid depiction of dispair drew me in and kept me for the whole ride.
