I didn’t realize so much of the book was involving depictions of child abuse.

Check the trigger warnings before reading (there is a spoiler in them but there's lots of major trigger potential things in this book that it's important).

I could not put this down but oh my it's the most twisted thing I've ever read. Truly disturbing but fantastically written, kept me guessing and guessing. I thought it could be who it was but dismissed it as too ridiculous!

At first I was really into the novel, but I found the ending really disturbing and gross. I feel like there were way better twists that could have explained what had happened.

What the fuck did I just read? I love Alice Feeney as an author, but I found the depictions of child abuse, animal abuse, rape, and at the end...incest (again, what the actual fuck???) to be disturbing.

Literally what the fuck? At the end of the book she finds out her husband is actually her brother AND THEN SAYS SHE WANTS TO HAVE A BABY WITH HIM? (albeit just to get out of the situation) but then actually falls pregnant with her brother's baby? I feel sick to my stomach with this book. So disappointed.
