I'm done giving this author chances. She has a really pessimistic view of humanity that I just don't jive with. I don't like her perspective on the world and her books just make me feel like crap. I don't think they are fun or intriguing enough to be worth the read. This one had the most promising start of all her works I've read, but it fell into the same pit of despair. There are better thrillers out there and I'm not wasting my time again.
Graphic: Child abuse, Child death, and Self harm
Moderate: Infertility and Mental illness
Minor: Rape
