Honestly I still don’t think I even know where to start on this. It was a horrifying but an absolutely amazing read. I was so hooked on it because you genuinely don’t think anything else could shock you but you’re so wrong.
Through the whole book I actually came to love Maya. Listening to all of her stories was empowering and her bravery is second to none.
The girls pulled on every heartstring and I found it amazing that they were some kind of dysfunctional family.
I don’t want to give away any spoilers so I won’t add my opinion of some of the males in this😬 what I will say is that they’d probably be explicit and not allowed on here anyway…
The only reason for my 4 stars is because of the ending. For me, it was a little rushed and I found that I still had SO many questions. I know there are 3 books to follow but from my understanding, they don’t necessarily continue the story from this first one.
