I found this book to be incredibly gripping and was obsessed with the main cast of characters. However, I felt that the ending was a rotten apple in the bunch of good apples, which made me dislike the book overall. It felt as if some of the shock value in the book was a bit predictable — dare I say, cliché? But overall, it was a decent book. Not life-changing, but did evoke some intense emotions. Definutely check the trigger warnings before reading.

I loved this at first (even though it made me feel like I was overdosing on my meds), then I took a break for 1-2 days and now I've realised it's just a really, really weird & disturbing book.

I hated this book. I hated everything about it. Every single character annoyed the shit out of me. I hated the way it was written, even though my visceral hate from literally page 1 is proof that the writing is good.
Pretty much every type of SA/r*pe is covered in this book. It was a lot. I hated it. Am I mad I read it? Kinda. But I don’t regret it. Maybe I do.
