Started off interesting, but the ending fell flat. I love a good unreliable narrator, but this was too much. Many triggering topics that were not well addressed.

I like this book enough to give it 3.5 stars and recommend it to others.

The end was shocking to me, but honestly I was a little dissapointed at the direction the book took, I was expecting something else.
