I really enjoyed the character development - particularly Carey and Jenessa.
I did find the plot really predictable which was quite disappointing
I also think it was pretty random chucking in the love interest Ryan - I really liked his character but I just feel like it was thrown in.
I did like the happy ending, however I don’t think I would read the book again.
There really needs to be some content warnings about this book - Child rape.

But, it fell a little flat for me overall. There was too much that I had to buy into, that I simply didn't.
A final minor annoyance: The novel also starts off with a strongly accented inner voice, which Carey seemingly drops in a few pages (specifically the dropped gs, which completely disappeared quickly), even though this was apparently how she has spoken for a good ten years.
