4.0

Such a dark disturbing book. A few parts a skipped past due to the details of harm written about. I wasn’t expecting any of the plots twists (but also was just going with the flow with 0 expectations with this book).

Wow. Perfectly paced. I was wrapped up in this book for an entire day. I had to finish it. I will say my brain feels icky after reading it, definitely check the trigger warnings.
