This is another book I buddy read with Destiny. This is a hard book to read because of the subject matter. It's told from alternating timelines. The past when Vanessa is 15 and the present when she is 32 and dealing with the repercussions of the past. I feel like you are meant to like Vanessa and feel sorry for her for what she has gone through and while I definitely feel sorry for her, I didn't particularly like her. There were so many times where I wanted to throw my book across the room because it was making me so angry. Strane was very good at what he did but to me it also seemed so obvious what he was doing. I obviously can't say how I would react in a similar situation because I have never had this happen to me. There are a lot of trigger warnings for this book so be aware of them before going into it.
