Wow - this was good but so dark! Definitely a topic people don’t talk about much and an interesting one too.

Went in blind. Was not what I was expecting. But I love books that make me think.

I mean wow…. I started this book feeling one way and ended it feeling another way.  It’s a hard read especially if you are a mom.  But it truly answers the question of how far a person would go for TRUE love.  That twist at the end.? Never saw that coming.

This book is extremely complicated and I don't know how to feel. Check your trigger warnings before even opening this book up.
