I think this book was very well written and very well done. Every perspective felt necessary and added to the story. Crime/thriller isn’t my usual genre which is why I’m not rating it 5 stars (I just don’t enjoy these types of books as much as other people do) but it was still an incredibly good and important book. I did shed a tear in the last chapter, which is rare. I also wish Lavendar had more chapters, but overall great book. The writing was phenomenal.

This is such an amazing book. It’s incredible how the author frames the story through the eyes of the women affected and how alternative realities are explored. Making Ansel be the reader is also an interesting choice and love how she never romanticized his actions.

I understand what the author was going for, but this book just wasn't for me. It's way too traumatic.
