Such a good book! I am surprised that something so short could have so many details and be so compelling. Not a happy book by any means but such a good one.

Beautifully written. I love the whole structure of the book. Something different than what I’ve ever read before. Last 100 pages had me with a lump in my throat and a few tears

Amazing and terrifying overall.
How do writers come up with such

One of the most dark and twisted books I’ve read. Was hoping for a bigger ah ha type twist but still was really good

I'm disgustingly late to the party with this one. It's been on my TBR forever & now I see what all the fuss was about. Judging from the number of reviews, I'm pretty sure it's all been said. So I'll just add that it's a "car crash" book.....hard to look at, impossible to look away. Many thanks to the GR buddies who told me to get off my butt & read it. Obviously, I need to learn to pay better attention
