I figured out the main plot twist within the 1st 40 minutes, but I never saw the real twists coming. The way that the FMC deals with trauma and depression spoke to me! I also deal with depression and have a husband that never gives up on me, no matter how many times I feel like I don't deserve love. I listed a quote that I felt really encompassed depression. I felt deeply for these 2 characters. The way that Kiersten Modglin describes trauma and how it affects you into adulthood is really well done. So many people deal with some type of trauma, as a child, that lingers with them, so I feel like this book will resonate with many people. The ending made me cry. It wasn't the ending I wanted, but I understand the reasons. Great, fast-paced story that will keep your mind racing.
