This book is probably the only one that makes me so sick to my stomach. It has a chokehold over me and the imagery is absolutely brutal.  I give it a 5 because of this chokehold . The worst part is that it is also believable. O’Neill did a good job, but i never want to read something like this again

Struggled with the rating for this one, it was very realistic and honest and portrayed an inside perspective of mental health perspective accurately and heartbreakingly. I took .5 stars off because it was so bleak, man. No hopefulness and very ambiguous which the author intended to do and I get that but it made me cry

It didn't start that good. I couldn't remember all the character names and i constantly forgot who Emma had beef with undsoweiter. However it did change like 33% into the book. I loved how carefully Louise O'Neill have created the story and the characters. Everyone felt very real and the look inside of Emmas concious was so interesting. It really deepens the understanding of how rape victims are seen to be behave as well as how the society around them challenges what it means to be violated. 

However be aware; this book has almost every single content warning one can give (like except homo/transphobia)
