This was very much not for me.

I think the plot and twists would have been sufficient enough without the involvement of Edward and the very detailed rape scenes.

At the end of this book I had more questions than answers, and the parts that stood out the most weren’t even the biggest plot points- just the most disturbing.

I picked this book up a few years ago on sale at B&N and never got around to reading it. I finally picked it up last night and in glad I did! Solid twist, interesting plot and story.

It got a little bit confusing at times (especially after the twist) so I had to go back and make sure I was understanding things right but it was good and worth the read!

I was going to give this a higher rating because some of those twists were really good, but after thinking (and doing far too much googling to find answers) it seems that I am left feeling far too confused for this to have been a great book 😅

Sooo many questions about the ending and even more questions about events that unfolded in the book that really didn’t lead to anything. This is a short book, and it’s hard to believe it’s possible for there to be so many loose ends.
