This is certainly a dark, twisted, and bleak book. It twists and turns more than any book in recent memory and the themes of incest, sexual assault, and suicide are prevalent throughout. It's not an easy read, that's for sure, but it's not meant to be.

To try and explain what this novel is about would not do it justice because this is one of those books you have to read to understand. You'll either like it or hate it.

I thought the way the story unfolded and all of the myriad secrets revealed throughout were very well done. I definitely wanted to keep reading just to figure out what was going on. But getting to those secrets can confuse the reader as the book changes perspective without warning, tying it together nearer to the end. That's not a complaint but some people might be put off by it.

My biggest issue was the length. There's certainly a certain amount of filler at times and I think the narrative would have been better served if some of the fluff were removed.

That being said, if you want to read something thats extremely dark and twisted and have your mind melted, I'd definitely recommend this book.

This was a fantastic thriller. Twists, suspense, tension. The mystery was riveting. I . Right away, I was hooked with how odd this situation was, and things only increased, which had me on the edge of my seat.

This book just wasn’t for me. When I first started it, it sucked me in right away until it got a few chapters in and I realized that the story about Celine is being written by a character. It was quite confusing when it would switch between the story and the writer.

Wow. What a great read. Could not put it down. Thank you for letting me read this in advance. I stayed up way to late trying to get to the end.

Thank you publisher and Netgalley for this ARC. I love the premise of this book! I wanted to be fully invested and have my heart shattered, but I couldn't stand the way that this book was written.

This was a "What the heck did I just read?" Type of book. The beginning started off dark, then I thought maybe it wasn't real, then the ending!! This book covers some dark themes, so please read the content warnings before trying it out. I couldn't decide if I liked Celine or not. But I love a good "revenge" book.

***PLEASE READ CONTENT WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS BOOK.**
