Very engaging. This had so many disturbing moments. It was interesting how the gardner could justify what he was doing and how he felt entitled to the beauty of women. It is horrifying to realize that (some) men think beauty and sex seemed to be owed to them.....

So incredibly f-ed up. However - a truly intriguing premise and it just pulls you in

I think the “twist” at the end was a little unnecessary and ruined it a little for me, but still a very enjoyable read!

Honestly I still don’t think I even know where to start on this. It was a horrifying but an absolutely amazing read. I was so hooked on it because you genuinely don’t think anything else could shock you but you’re so wrong.

Through the whole book I actually came to love Maya. Listening to all of her stories was empowering and her bravery is second to none.

The girls pulled on every heartstring and I found it amazing that they were some kind of dysfunctional family.

I don’t want to give away any spoilers so I won’t add my opinion of some of the males in this😬 what I will say is that they’d probably be explicit and not allowed on here anyway…

The only reason for my 4 stars is because of the ending. For me, it was a little rushed and I found that I still had SO many questions. I know there are 3 books to follow but from my understanding, they don’t necessarily continue the story from this first one.
