I’ve heard a lot of mix things about this book, but I believe it’s worth reading. It’s absolutely insane and twisted and you don’t know what to believe with Anna but then you can’t help but sympathize for her. It’s honestly sick and twisted and I loved it, it was such a rush and I couldn’t stop reading it!!!! Also don’t be desperate, something will hear you…..;)

At first I added this book because I saw that it inspired the new season of AHS. Personally, I disliked the season but decided to give the book a chance and honestly the show did not do justice to the book at all. I loved the themes that women have to face in real life such as having their pain ignored by physicians and those around them. Especially, when it comes to things that individuals that experience child rearing and child birth go through.

I love the plot twists and turns and the anxiety you feel from each new piece of info our mc gets! Amazingly scary and thought provoking, also an awesome read for Women’s History month. Very gripping story, would read again.

I honestly had no idea where this was going. I had so many theories and none of them were quite right. This was mysterious, suspenseful, and sometimes just down right fucked up. It honestly borders on pregnancy horror genre. Towards the end, it kind of lost the plot for me and I’m not sure how I feel about the ending, but I still enjoyed it.
