Well written with characters I liked. But man oh man was it a hard book to get through. What these characters went through is just awful and really challenging to read about, especially since the writing was so good. Almost too good, I felt I lived through the traumatic events. Some of the worst scenes are revisited/relived multiple times, I almost couldn't take it anymore. Really compelling characters though, which kept me going. Will be looking at more books by this author but not sure I can recommend this particular one given the traumatic plot.

starklinqs's review against another edition

3.5

I feel like this story started out strong and then fizzled out. The story eventually all comes together, but I felt like it took so long to deal with the Kelly Wilson plot, and the characters dealing with their backstory sometimes felt disjointed. It’s well written and I wanted to know more as I read, but there’s something about it that stopped me from really loving it.
