My Rating: 4/5
WARNING THIS BOOK CONTAINS: sexual assualt, violence, swearing, mental health disorders, etc.
I'd heard about this book a while ago, but had just read Room by Emma Donoghue, so I put off picking this one up. I think that was a good choice to make. This book is a very interesting story about forgiveness, letting go and serving justice where it's due. I liked the different perspectives that we followed and was interested mostly in the view of the captor throughout the novel. That being said, there were aspects of the story that I found to be unneccessary, or to just add drama to an already dramatic situation. Overall, I would read more work by the author and would recommend this book to those who have read and enjoyed Room.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
