challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

G O O D . 
I was hooked, all I kept thinking about was coming back to read this amazing book. 
It's so real. Too real. 
Brought up a lot of emotions, anger, frustration, empathy. 
I could sadly relate to too many aspects of the book. 
The inner monologue - self blaming, denial, comparison and so much more, is too accurate to people who suffer a relationship with narcissistic and manipulative people. 
The plot itself was also very gripping and enthralling. 
I thought about so many different twists, but not this one. 
Amazing, amazing book.

I loved this book! I couldn’t put it down and I really liked the characters. Their stories were unique and I audibly gasped at a twist at the end. Would definitely recommend!

This was an amazing book! I kinda want to give it 5 stars but something is holding me back. Very well written, I sorta liked the flashback-like things, sorta didn’t, they really didn’t seem necessary in the end but they definitely kept the flow of the book going. Author did a great job of including humor im a sad story that tackles many issues. Great “twist” at the end. One thing that really bothered me was acc very insignificant, but the author used a bunch of the same names for characters as in What Alice Forgot (one of her other books). It was so confusing, because I originally thought that maybe the books were connected, but no, the author just was using the same names for completely different characters. lol
