So many trigger warnings. The narrator has no respect for herself and is extremely self destructive, that can be a hard point of view to read from. I finished this book quickly and did enjoy it! However, you spend the entire book leading up to the reveal for this huge mystery only for it to unfold quickly at the end in the last 10 pages. That was a let down for me.
