dark sad

1.0

Too graphic, disturbing, and dark and not in a good way… more like a depressing boring way.

michelleabdanan's review against another edition

It’s so gross and cringey. It read like a weird lady’s gross kidnapping fantasies. Hard pass.

This book was amazing, I couldn’t put it down! The only reason I didn’t give it a full 5 stars is because I did not like the twist at the end with Inara & Sophia… I thought that was kind of dumb. But otherwise this book was phenomenal!

Very good read, but it is heartbreaking. Couldn't put it down, it's a good book that you get sucked into, wanting to know what happens
