Gut wrenching and left me sobbing, shocked, and horrified. Very thought out and posed many questions I would have never even considered. I wasn't prepared, and I was absolutely blown away.

4.5 stars. Sooooo as long as you're not looking to take anything too seriously, this is an absolute fun time. I couldn't put this down and read it in one sitting. And for those who didn't head the author's warning at the very beginning of the book, I simply dont understand how you can still pick this apart. This book sets its standards, makes colorful promises, and absolutely delivers. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of some mild editing errors, which really don't even break the immersion anyway.
