I followed the plot, I stared at the plot and it TWISTED. Did not see that coming AT ALL. 
Really good read

I cried so much for that little girl in the first three chapters but GIRL the switchup! The unexpected road this story takes!!
This is by far one of the weirdest books I have read, and it only took me 2 - 3 hours to read.
The book gives a really good perspective but if I recommend someone to read it and they don't understand they might think my heads not right.

Really loved this book! 
Gave me huge pride and prejudice vibes, and even though I guessed how the book would end (based on the vibes) I still loved finding out how the characters ended up there.
