This book has haunted me since the day I finished it. Horrifying. Dark. So incredibly real. I haven't felt this affected by a book in a long time. There are so many aspects of the main character that are relatable and yet we don't know really anything about her for the majority of the book. This book activated my female rage in such an intense and personal way. Highly, highly recommend this book, but be ready to be scared.
