Okay low-key I hated this book I'm just nosy and needed to finish it. At first I felt bad for Oly but then I was like "What the fuck are you doing Oly". Boy Howdy if you like fucked up family drama then be my guest!

This book will probably stick with me for the rest of my life; it's unlike anything I've ever read before. It's so unique and horrible yet the author did a good job of making the characters lovable despite how different they were.
