This book absolutely needs a trigger warning I really really enjoyed it until the end and it was kind of gross. Actually it was a lot gross but the problem is the trigger warning could possibly give away the ending to this book which was a super big twist so I'm torn which is why I got three stars.

The more I thought about this book the more annoyed I got because it wasted so much of my time...changed rating to 1 star

What a...strange book lol. Was it good? Sort of? Did it keep me reading and wanting to know where the hell this was going? Yes, it sure did. Very strange twists and things happening in the very last 2 chapters felt way more done for the pure shock of the twist than something that actually makes sense. But! It was still an entertaining read and kept me hooked, so it was good for that!

I did. not enjoy the twist, definitely killed the story for me. Made it hard to rank the book. I like Alice feeney as an author but this just wasn’t it.

This book is for mature audiences reader discretion is advised. This book could be traumatizing for some, as some very serious matters do take place in this book.

Aside from the overall grossness of the book, I just feel like, timeline-wise, this really made no sense.

The overdone child abuse and the weird incest plot, ugh!

Honestly, I love Alice Feeney’s more recent books but her earlier books are too much for me. This whole book gave me the “ick”
