I'd have to say this book is probably the most disturbing one I've ever read. The twists kept coming and I was hooked from middle to end. Definitely not for the faint of hearted.

Unreliable narrators used to their full advantage. Characters that you can sympathize with AND absolutely despise. Loved the physical book so much that i immediately purchased the audiobook version to experience differently.
