3.75
I almost gave this book 4 stars due to me being genuinely shocked by the ending but I have settled on 3.75 because I found the main character often annoying me. I thought a lot of her decisions were very dumb and dangerous plus like I get that she has trauma from her childhood but that doesn't excuse her actions or dangerous and illegal practices when it comes to taking pills.
