This book was horrific??? Why did I keep reading??? I considered stopping so many times but kept telling myself I could finish it but WOW. I had nightmares with this book and it did not do anything good for me. The writing at times was lovely and that is why it gets 2 stars instead of 1. Character growth was minimal. Traumatic to read.
