Wow what a rollercoaster! I love how complex all of the characters are, it really breaks you out of the mold thinking that a character is 100% guilty or innocent. I feel like it's really hard to get into the mindset (especially first person) of someone who has been so traumatized and abused, but she did an excellent job. You can really tell when there are holes in Mary's memory, and things that she doesn't fully understand/refuses to accept. I feel like it ended kind of abruptly, I would have liked more of a build-up before the crazy ending, but still a really good read.
