Raw and Riveting.

This is one of the most incredible books I have read. It left me shook to the core!
The narration is brilliant.
I don't want to say too much I want the reader to ride the same rollercoaster as myself.

surprising conclusion

A really good 'read.' Initial chapters were, for me, somewhat confused but then horoughly enjoyable once the story got going. Surprising twists.
Narration could have been better.
Overall a good read.
