I didn’t love this story but I didn’t hate it. I felt like the story and the writing were not aligned and the plot felt like it had holes in it. I did enjoy the twists towards the end!

Voice acting was VERY good. But I'm puzzled at Elijah not being portrayed with a British accent when the text pretty much says she has one, and Elijah's mum was read with a perfectly fine English accent. Still-- excellent performance.

I wish I had read the trigger warnings for this novel before picking it up or that the bookseller would’ve mentioned it before selling. I understand it’s a fact of the world but as I’ve lived through these triggers myself I’d rather not go through it again even vicariously.

This could definitely be a triggering book, so please read with care! I didn’t find anything overly graphic or explicit, but there are definitely some disturbing things that occur. The trigger warnings in the “graphic” section I included were because they were themes throughout the story.

Anyway, painful read. I can’t tell if reading this was cathartic or not. Definitely to an extent, but still painful.
