Loved this book so much. I found myself relating to some of the concepts that were mentioned when it comes to being a woman and it made me so emotional lol. This author writes very very well, and this is her first book? I'm amazed and so impressed. Would 100% read more books by this author. This was such a good book, definitely recommend anyone to read it. (If you're into this genre)

This book is incredibly short and long at the same time. It's a story of abuse, rape and pain. The main character Suzy felt real in her struggle, not made up by someone in their cozy room at home. Beautiful and raw, wow. 

But..at the end I wasn't really connected to the story because the amount of violence constantly threw me off, it seemed more like a shiny accessory to the plot. Honestly, we could've gotten to the point of the story without half of it. Also...the marketing of this book? Why portray it as a true crime story? Doesn't make sense to me.

Not a bad book, probably just not for me.
