Nothing happens for the first 65% of the book except for unnecessary graphic scenes. I felt like several things were added purely for shock value and did little for the story. The ending is satisfying which was nice, but the twist came out of left field, and was never really explained well. If you’re considering this book because you’ve seen it all over TikTok I recommend passing
Graphic: Addiction, Body horror, Body shaming, Child abuse, Child death, Death, Emotional abuse, Gore, Gun violence, Infidelity, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Suicide, Torture, Toxic relationship, Violence, Blood, Kidnapping, Grief, Stalking, Car accident, Death of parent, Murder, Fire/Fire injury, Gaslighting, and Injury/Injury detail
