This is a tricky book to review because I enjoyed the second half but the first half was SO slow and meandered aimlessly. I almost gave up on it a few times but kept reading because another review on here said the ending was satisfying, and it was. I think I’d have enjoyed the book more if the first half had been condensed.
SpoilerAdditionally, I found the grooming storyline really hard to keep reading.
 
Check out the content warnings because there’s a lot, and the first half especially contains some hard to read stuff.
