This book has me very torn because while it is interesting I also feel like I have read it before. It feels so much like The Selection but with a sci fi twist of cloning.

At times it was incredibly hard to read because of the sheer amount of physical and emotional abuse that Mr Ramsey inflicts on Victoria, with very little resolution. It feels like the author wanted a Cinderella story, except the evil stepmother beat Cinderella within an inch of her life and left Cinderella to meet the prince with two black eyes.

If the escaping abuse storyline isn't your thing, steer far away from this book. It is here and the abuser keeps popping in to ruin our heroine's day.

I'm really unsure if I'll finish the series. If its a Cinderella story, I know how it ends. But reading the abuse and manipulation is truly jarring and hard to stomach at times.
