I wasn’t expecting to like this book so much considering I DNF’d the authors first novel, but I really connected to this one. This book does not hold any punches, it takes awhile to get to anything particularly horrifying, but the build up is necessary to feel the impact of the terrible things that happen next. Every detail of this story pulled me in and the way the narrator changes as her perspective does is wonderful.
