"I will literally read anything this woman puts out into the world…this story was incredible—sad, dark, and terrifyingly beautiful.” Crystal, Goodreads Reviewer

“When I tell you that I gobbled this book up, I truly mean it. I could not put this down!” Sarah, Goodreads Reviewer

I don't know what I just read...and I mean that in the best way possible. This story is intense and engrossing and like nothing I've read before. Every time I thought I understood what was going on, there was a twist."‍ ‍Erica, Goodreads Reviewer
