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!

Confessions is a relentless read about the repercussions and reprisals of revenge. Warning this book won’t let you out of its savage grasp even after its last page. This one will stay with me.
