If I could give this book more stars, I would. This book is truly the definition of horrifyingly beautiful, there were moments I had to take a step back and think about what I had just read. I almost felt a sense of stockholm syndrome sweep me up as the book was coming to a close. A powerful book, a message for those who listen and the sanctity of innocence all neatly tucked in black and white.

Check the trigger warnings if you have literally anything that you want to avoid reading about

that ending was dumb asf. Like you're telling me her roommate escaped and left all the other girls to die?? Like how would he get custody of her child if he is caught for kidnapping children,,,,
Why was it written as if there was an unreliable narrator when she did not lie a single time??
I also don't get how she would've wanted the dude (Desmen?) to survive when he was complicit for 6 months and had to be convinced by the rape and kidnapping of a 12 year old just to call the police because he didn't want to upset his mom??
