challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced

4.0

To me, Annie seemed like an autistic-coded character and I really related a lot. Specifically, her constant difficulty navigating the contradictory things that people say and trying to come up with a response that makes sense and is appropriate. There are lots of instances where people laugh or get angry at something she says when she was not at all trying to be funny or combative. 

The abuse in the book seemed pretty realistic up until the end.

Mans goes to three couple's counseling sessions, turns off Annie's GPS, and expects her not to leave? That stretches credulity for me.

Creepy idea well-executed from a brainwashed perspective, very unsettling. Pacing was strange.

Spent the last quarter of the book waiting for something to happen, and was disappointed. Ending felt like we went in a circle instead of a new start. Questions unanswered.

Heavy coercive control. Predatory behaviour. Also, Annie is between 2-3 years old most of the novel despite the maturity of her body.

I was hoping for her to murder him by the end but it gave very doll house vibes 
Her walking away and choosing herself in the end instead of what scumbag Doug and his equally rapey friend Roland want
