I didn’t really know what to expect going into it, but my heart was racing at the end of the book. I can’t say I agreed with the ending but you could kind of see it coming in a way. Lots of twists and turns!

I have had this book on my Kindle for a while but it just never made it to the forefront of my mind. I honestly thought this was going to be some cliche story about a grieving mother who makes peace with her daughter's death. This was *not* the case, in the best way. This is sinister, dark, and twisted in the best way. This book is wild! I read some reviews that said they didn't like the ending, but I thought it was unexpected and different from the norm. I'll definitely be looking into the author's other books! If you haven't picked this one up yet, I highly recommend doing so.

Favourite quote: "I'm a human being. I am not your entertainment."

I wanted to like this book more than I did. It's just ok. Once I knew the plot, I thought 'ohhh this is going to be good.' It wasn't. I knew the twist before it came, which is ok, but I wanted to be wrong. Check the trigger warnings because this does have sensitive subjects in it. 

How I rate my books:

⭐️ wasted my time
⭐️⭐️ not terrible but not great
⭐️⭐️⭐️ good, but wouldn't read again.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ really liked it and recommend it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ absolutely loved it! Move it up on your TBR
