Positives- intriguing story, crazy ending, unlike anything I’ve ready before and the ending did make me want more!

I really struggled to figure out how to rate this book. Although I enjoyed reading it, it felt messy and all over the place and the way some scenes/dialogue was written made me uncomfortable (not in a ‘ooo extreme horror/scary uncomfortable kind of way, but in a ‘I’m a bit concerned about the writers motives/intentions). For example, the random, unnecessary piece of dialogue that read ‘the girls going to get herself raped’- referring to a woman wearing ripped jeans and a strapless top? Tf???

And can we talk about how this woman has just found out her sister has been murdered by her abusive ex husband who sexually assaulted her 6 year old child yet continues to shag a a guy she barely knows THE SAME DAY whilst waiting for said ex husband to turn up??? W H A T!??

This was a 2.5 star for me. Had there been none of the sexual assault of minors (that added literally nothing to the story), I would’ve given a higher rating. But it just rubs me the wrong way that the author has included such a horrific topic for no reason- it didn’t heighten the story in any way, it felt irrelevant.
