This book is the definition of "an eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind." 

Absolutely incredible revenge story that hooks you at the very start.

It's taught me perception vs perspective are to different things to always take into account of someone.

Highly recommend!

YEESH, what a horrible, twisty, downright NASTY easter egg hunt of a book. I didn't know I'd end up with a readalike that blended summer, fireworks, and my corpse and the laws of the skies together so soon after reading both. I need a long bath.
