It took me a while to warm up to the book, which may be partly due to the narrator but I stuck with it and enjoyed it on the whole. 
It was quite harrowing and the were some moments the story took a worrying turn but I liked how it turned out.

I found this book like tough to read just because of the plot and the things that happen in it. Please look at the trigger warnings before reading this, I didn't. BUT I did like this book. I don't know how to describe it, it was sad and tense and it made me nervous. Ruth is always doing interesting thing
