I'm 8th grade it seamed a bit of a love story. This time is was a tale of horrible abuse and imprisonment.
This book takes on shocking turns. It's a good read, but it's horrifying at times.

What sets this book apart is its profound allegorical depth, brilliantly captured by the author. The characters’ struggles are portrayed with raw intensity, showcasing the complexities of their relationships and the harsh realities they face. Even going into this story knowing the twists, the impact of the story remains shockingly palpable, a testament to Andrews’ mastery in creating a suspenseful and emotionally charged experience.

Having said that, the writing itself isn't that great. The story itself had me hooked from page one though.

I am interested to see how much Andrews' writing will hold up outside of a confined space in Petals on the Wind.
