This is one of the most gut wrenching books I have ever read. Just about every twist and turn absolutely wrecked me, and my heart broke for Annie with every chapter. 

I'd give anything to read it for the first time again, ngl.

Wow. This book was incredible. It grabbed my attention from the first page and didn’t let go until I read the last word. I’m sure I’ll think of this book in the days to come. 

I loved how the narrative was laid out  and how the characters were well-developed. 

I can’t wait to read more from this author. 

Also, make sure to check out the content warnings before reading!

I think the concept of the story was awesome, and the flashbacks to the protagonist’s experienced were strong, but the layout of the book as therapy sessions gets a bit repetitive and is a bit poorly written.

This book is one of my favorite books of all time. It was gut wrenching, sad, visceral and heartbreaking. It will stick with me for a long time. It’s not often a book will make me openly cry. I felt the main character and her emotions as the story unfolded through her lens. The writing is phenomenal. Chevy Stevens has now become one of my favorite authors
