This book was really not for me. The character’s motivations made no sense despite the book being stream of consciousness. The mystery was predictable and I disliked the character from start to finish. Her actions never made sense, the flashbacks seemed to be nothing more than trauma porn, and her motivation to save herself by becoming a nun and the moment that cements her decision was just poor writing imo
