This was close to being a 4 to 5 star read for me. I loved it the first 350ish pages. However, I hated the ending so much. What was that??? What kinda resolution is that??? Why was Anna such an awful person in real life? The fact that she literally tortured and killed the main character's sister???? How was I supposed to feel for her after that? It just ruined the book for me. I'm giving it this rating for the rest of the book.
