2.0

This book had so much potential and I had such high hopes for it. I was, unfortunately, deeply disappointed. 

There is no character building and the characters has no depth. Nothing gets explained. 
There is no romance (author has said this book's not a dark romance (although the author says it's a dark romance/dark fiction in the foreword), but dark fiction - and that is ok. But there is still NO romance even at the end 😂). There is no love (between mum/daughter) or any other character.



**Some spoilers below**
Absolutely nothing get explained. Why did Leni loose all her friends? Why did Piper turn her back at her? Leni is suppose to be an (almost) Olympic gymnastic. Where are her team? Doesn't the team have insurance when something happens to their members? This is sat in USA, so probably not? Idk, I find it weird.
Why didn't Leni's grandmother check up on her after the call abruptly ended?

Half the book is also pure SA. That's usually not a problem, but it falls flat and mostly for shock value.

2/5⭐️
2/5📝
1,5/5🌶 (if you count SA the level is higher)
