What have you done to deserve your eyes today?
Ahh that quote gives me goosebumps!
Reading this book was like watching a car crash, wanting to look away, but being unable to tear your eyes from the horrifying scene.
It was unflinching and deprived.
I think I’m beginning to love stories about dark obsessions between women.
Although… I did expect it to get even darker after reading some reviews. I really wanted there to be a big climax, a more definitive conclusion or meeting of the two women in someway. So I was disappointed to be left wanting with unanswered questions. I really feel as if it could’ve been 4 stars if there was a few more chapters and the ending just packed a bit more of a punch.
But overall I still love it in all of its stomach turning aspects.
