WOW. I don’t remember ever feeling so conflicted while reading a book. This story was dark, emotional and heart wrenching.
I’m not going to rate this lower than what I think it should be based on the inappropriate relationship between two of the main characters. The quality of the book is exceptional, Bryn Greenwood fully immerses the reader in the lives of the characters. This is a tough read with heavy and disturbing topics.
