5.0

This was great and awful at the same time. I was nauseous 80% throughout due to how its content was described, but it needed to be written that way. It starts dark and confusing, then as it's twists are resolved, ends with hope.

Great book, but not for the faint of heart.

Lying will be the death of you, but the rebirth of your true self.

While much of the content is troubling, disturbing, and hard, this book was worth the discomfort. I don't want to give anything away, but do make sure you read the Afterword.

This was a journey! While horror is normally not my genre of interest, the description of this book got me. I had no idea what the next twist and turn would be, which marks a good book in my opinion. This was hard to read due to the content it tackles but this book was absolutely amazing.
