5.0

Without doubt the best non classic book I've read in a decade! The storytelling is brilliant and the storyline compelling. The unravelling and présentation of the multilayered characters shows a deep understanding of specific psychological traits and of trauma from the part of the writer.
I would suggest the book to everyone, but more specifically to young women. 
Point of attention: it can be trauma triggering for some people.
