Torn on the rating. The idea was very interesting but I'm just not a fan of the writing. I tried not to read too many reviews but I agree with one about the vague, dumb ending. This had so much potential to be better than it turned out. When things picked up toward the end, there were some intense moments though.
Moderate: Rape, Sexual assault, and Sexual violence
Minor: Trafficking and War
