I loved this writing, the voice needs to be bottled and the main character development was perfection, nothing 8 thought about her at the beginning was true by the end. I noticed slice/line imagery throughout but would love to know the author's intent with that.

Major trigger warnings on this book, it handles some dark content! I found a lot of the descriptive language of this book to be quite abrasive and at times quite off off putting, so it was hard to like most of the characters in this book. For a thriller, I was hoping for a bit bigger twist and a more satisfying ending.

1.0

Despite Ani’s traumatic past, I found her severely unlikable . The body shaming, sexism, and generally all other negative qualities she exudes, I had a hard time getting through the book. I found it hard to follow at times and overall just didn’t enjoy it. There was a lot of characters and plot lines to follow and it felt very dragged out and all over the place. Would not recommend. :/

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.
