this was a weird read. it was mostly interesting even tho I wasn't that drawn in by the summary. near the end it got weird and out of hand for me, the story went to places I wasn't expecting but saw coming at the same time. honestly all I can think is antara needs some serious therapy, a child is not an answer, a way out. and god the bits about her imagining killing her baby and her family member show how unhinged she became by the end.

also I don't know if I'm stupid for not getting it, but the last page, about her screaming and no one hearing, of her seeing only her own reflection in the mirror was a little confusing. I don't understand where it was cut of from reality and went to whatever that ending was. is that was was in her head? I have no idea.
