This is a book I would never have read if it wasn’t my book club choice for the month.
I didn’t like any of the characters, I guessed the murderer within the first chapter and just felt wildly uncomfortable throughout.
If you struggle with self harm or anything of that nature there are vivid descriptions of the main character doing this to herself, so I would give this book a wide berth.
