This book was hard for me to read, as somebody who was in a controlling and emotionally abusive relationship as a teenager, but it was so well written. The story felt so real, and was very relatable. To say I enjoyed it wouldn't be quite accurate, but I'm glad I read it. 

I also spent the whole book assuming that Luka was dead, so it was great to discover at the end that she was alive and it was the horrible boyfriend who'd died!
