Wow this was really grim and depressing, and more than a little bit fucked up. There's abuse of all kinds, rape, murder, animal cruelty, child abduction, and more. Both Suzy and Lim have very little remorse for their actions, but every now and then you would see glimpses of the girl that Suzy could be, with some help. This is incredibly dark and twisted, but it was also a great read about the darkest part of human nature and how trauma impacts us.
