dark

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

With an interesting start, this book slowed down quite a bit in the middle before coming back with a big plot twist. Using consistent characters across multiple timelines, Jennifer Hillier took us on the roller coaster ride of the main character's life, including a stint in prison. I do have a couple minor questions left unanswered but overall, I would recommend this book to anyone without sensitivities for light s3x scenes and r@pe.

So many trigger warnings- all the trigger warnings. I did not like this book, but I also didn’t hate it. It felt like the author was adding gruesome, horrible scenes just for shock value by the end.

Boy, was this dark! I’m not complaining, but I genuinely wasn’t expecting that for some reason.

This book has been languishing on my TBR for years, so I’m glad I finally picked it up. I ended up enjoying it for the most part. It was super messed up and went in a lot of unexpected directions. I just felt like parts of this dragged and went on for way too long. Like, a big chunk was spent outlining her life in prison…and for what? Cut out like 100 pages and I think I would have loved this.

This book was ok.  There were definitely frustrating parts where characters acted against their development and either did things that just didn’t fit or didn’t do things that would have solved the problem before it even started.  Clearly attempting to be edgy and twisty but ended up being pretty tropey.

About 30 pages until the end, I was sure I had the ending figured out.  Some what true, but alas there are more turns and twists that await.  Book much deserving of all the accolades it has been bestowed.

What kind of fu**ed up fu**ery is this?

The "trigger warning" wasn't nearly adequate enough. I skipped literal pages in this book because of it.
