Elaborate details on everything except what should have been detailed. I am left with more questions now that I’ve finished reading than I had in the beginning of the book. 2 stars for a good start but poor execution. ...more

I wish I didn’t have to give this book any stars. 50 pages in and I was hooked but quickly realized it was a scam just like the plot of the story.

If you have it, read it. But don’t go out of your way to get it. ...more

I liked the realistic dynamic between the characters. Sometimes trauma brings people together… even if that means going against your better judgement. I liked the creativity in how the story is told but 2.5/3 stars for me over all. The ending was a huge let down after such a long and slow build up. ...more
