4.0
There were a lot of flaws in this novel, but I still really really enjoyed this story. A common complaint seems to be Holly’s lack of involvement in the ending, but I think this made the ending better. Rather than Holly getting revenge on those who had wronged her, she was able to find peace with herself. As someone who has recently lost a loved one, I related to the grief Holly felt in this book. The main character was morally grey at best, but her motives for her behavior were pure.
Graphic: Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Medical content, Grief, and Car accident
