I have to admit this book surprised me more than once. I thought it was going in a certain direction that I was sure was going to be banal. Then it pivoted and pivoted again and pivoted again. The only thing banal was the ending, but I didn’t mind that because it felt like it needed to be. After all the trauma and turmoil in her life, Ani deserved banal.

shadowraven3's review against another edition

The MC is vapid and just got a good character. It’s giving Tell Me Lies vibes and I absolutely hated that book. Handles anorexia unfavorably (what’s with authors having a character needing to starve to extreme lengths), there’s a whole ass gang rape scene that made me want to chuck the book especially after the planned parenthood trip and the gay comment. How is this book popular! Like I had a hard time wanting to continue on with it because of how terrible the plot actually is from the premise I was promised.

I had the impression that it's a mystery, but it's NOT. It's about a woman coping with two traumatic events that happened when she was a teenager

I enjoyed it. It's well written. But it felt like too much to be about a school shooting and sexual assault and a bad relationship. I could have done with at least one less major theme.
