annarella 's review for:

The Ruins by Phoebe Wynne
4.0

A gothic story, dark and disturbing at times. It's not a heartwarming or funny book, there's a lot of sufference and it talks about abuse and trying to move on and leave old wounds behind.
I loved the style of writing, hated the characters, and appreciated how the author was able to convey the sufference.
I found it a bit too intense at times but this my personal experience.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
