3.0
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.
