definitely a book i would recommend to everyone in the right state of mind. so dark and twisted, unexpected conclusion.
the beginning is definitely slower, setting the scene and such, but once you get into it, oh my god couldn't let go of the book. the writing style is amazing, the comparisons with her self-harm scars. just wow.
