This book made me realize that dark, disturbing thrillers may not be for me. The story was well written and I was gripped by the plot, so I did enjoy it in that sense. It was just a little too disturbing for me, and made me physically wince at certain parts. I also had an inkling about the ending about halfway through, so I didn’t find the big plot twist at the end to be shocking.
