- So slow until the last 30 pages, kept getting so bored of the mystery as there is nothing revealed at all
- Incredibly dark
- When things did start being revealed, felt very chaotic 
-

the rape was not needed at all, and wasn’t even addressed afterwards, there was literally no point to it and felt like it was just there to make you feel uncomfortable. I felt like all the sexual elements just weren’t needed and had no plot function at all, like the SA, felt like it was just there to make you feel uncomfortable

- I liked the premise but just felt like it wasn’t well executed
