Wow. 
Should just leave it at that - this is a love it or hate it kind of book. Taddeo is an excellent writer and this book was intense. A must-read for female rage and an intense study on trauma/damaged women but do heed the trigger warnings... this is a dark ride.

I literally have no clue how to rate this it could be 1 star it could be 4 stars

‘The world had set me up to believe that it was women who went mad. It was simply women's pain that manifested as madness.’
