CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS BOOK!!!

This book is a bit complicated. The ending plot twists help explain the main character's actions throughout, but without knowing them it seems as if the main character has no issue with the things happening to her and around her. It does an amazing job slowly delving more and more into the past giving you just enough information each time to understand another piece of the puzzle without fully knowing everything. However, the way the book deals with certain triggering topics comes across as very casual and with no regard for the severity of them. Additionally, the traumatic events are never fully dealt with in the book and simply exist in the background before eventually disappearing, or in one case are used to villify a character. There was a lot of potential with this book but I felt it missed the mark at almost every point.

I didn't finish because I realized I figured out all the plot twists. On the whole quite a predictable book and I found my attention wandering as I read it. While reading I didn't get the chilled feeling I was looking for. I never attached myself to the characters and found myself reading because I wanted to have an excuse to not be around my family. Overall I would give this a 2.5 out of 5 stars from what I read. I don't think this is a bad book, just not the right book for me at that time.
