I don’t usually cry when I read books. I did with this one. Very well written but very dark and emotional.

Holy! The plot twist(s). The authentic writing. Plus Part 1 and Part 2 are so different! I was so caught up with the intensity of the plot, the twists, the characters, the language that I did not want to stop reading. 
I may need to reread this one, just to see if it’s that good or did I just miss the obvious clues? I strongly believe it’s that good.

This is a really well-written, clever thriller and I only partly guessed some of the twists! Not an easy read in the sense that the subject matter is very intense.
