dark emotional tense fast-paced

3.75

the story flowed effortlessly and i was engrossed in the story (read it one sitting) but it still felt like there was a lot of plot holes/conveniences 
ps. why is it always girls that suffer?

Really liked the beginning and ending, but the middle of it was a bit all over the place. Definitely check trigger warnings before going into this for on page SA and torture.
