I don’t even know what to rate this book. 
It was a wild ride! 
1000% check trigger warnings. This has to be one of the darkest books I’ve read. But jeezus, it was non stop action. I didn’t know what to expect and was thrown off several times.

There’s less chance of my having the hope of a better life if all the nothingness blurs together. 

It’s a wonder something so mistreated can still respond to the cause of its neglect.

What is broken inside me that I look for love in the worst places? Was it programmed inside me from birth or is it a product of my parent’s neglect? Am I just so fucked up that I’ll take affection wherever I can get it, even if it’s from the worst possible source?
