I really enjoyed this, but I just wish some story lines had been more fleshed out at the end. The ending was a little abrupt and hard to follow, and some of the resolutions I really wanted to see happened “off screen” and we just saw the after effects. Other than that, it was very engaging and powerful, and I liked it!

Definitely check trigger warnings! This book was good with an unpredictable twist. It drug in some spots and the chapters were too long for my preference, but I still flew through this book. I was hesitant to pick it up since Pretty Girls by the same author was such a let down, but this book did not disappoint. Again, check trigger warnings before reading

Overall a good story to entertain the read, but…..

Slow, slow start…. I started and had to put it down for three months. Then read for a week and down again for two months. I’m not sure why I didn’t DNF this book but in the end I did enjoy it once it picked up. In two weeks time I went from having read 8% of the book to almost 85% of the book read. 

The chapters were looonnnng… so long that at times it seemed like there would never be a break.
