This book was incredibly hard to read but genuinely impossible to put down. I felt like every detail was so precise and carefully chosen, and everything came together perfectly. Just an exceptional book, but def one that requires some serious trigger warnings

This is one of the darkest books I have ever read. It is compelling and well written and so engaging. And … I need an adult.
