I had heard mixed reviews about this book before starting it so I went in with no expectations. I was so thrilled when I started to enjoy it. I had guessed the twist pretty early on but it didn’t ruin my enjoyment of the story. It was dark and twisted and creepy and well gross!
I enjoyed all the characters. I liked that the author went back in time to give the back stories of the mothers of the girls. It really tied the story together. I think this would be great on screen, if done right! I want to give a warning but I can’t because then it would be spoiled but lets just say do not read this if you have an issue with….ummmm sexual stuff….ugh thats all I can say.
I really can’t say a whole lot about this without spoiling the whole story. You just have to trust me when I say this was a fun and intriguing story!
