😱
I was not expecting the turn this book took! I was not reeaaddddyyyy! So I will say the beginning took a bit to get into, I wasn’t truly grasped completely into the plot and there’s a lot of timeline bouncing. And I probably wasn’t hooked until the 40% mark because we are now really trying to figure out what the hell happened to Monday! Right? Ok cool! 

There were definitely triggering moments throughout this book but I think how they were introduced was very well done, the author doesn’t just throw them in your face she almost preps you and then it happens..later. 

And then the, not necessarily plot twist but the BOOM happens and hunny I was truly concerned for all the characters event though this is a piece of fiction, this happens in real life! This isn’t something you can just glance over and it not effect you. No these issues are current and it just truly wrenches your heart out of your chest, just oh my gosh I don’t think in my recent reads I’ve truly been moved the way this book moved me!
