Too much going on- way intense and too many different dramas packed into one book.

Some parts were rather obvious but those few twists right at the end really threw me off track did not expect it . This book had me crying and in some places screaming and that’s everything I want from a book.

2.0

This is the most gruesome traumatic story I've ever read.
There was no need to retell the trauma 3x with increasing detail. My mental health did not need this. How this book has an over 4 star rating is shocking and disappointing. I'm giving this 2 stars because the writing is good, but the logic is faulty at worst and unlikely at best, and the traumatic repetition made me deeply dislike the book.
