Plot was ok, but it felt immature and predictable. The main character was gullible and believed anything anyone told her, which resulted in her being manipulated pretty much the whole book. I didn’t love the stigmatizing vocabulary regarding mental illness (ex: crazy, insane), and think this could’ve been written to be more accurate of experience in a mental health facility. Was an easy read and got through it pretty fast.

Unrealistic even for guilty pleasure fiction. Unlikable characters. Irresponsible mental health references.

I enjoyed the fact that the author made me distrust every single character that I’m still not entirely sure I even believe the ending. Great book.
