Thank you for the support here. When someone asks an opinion about a book containing violence, torture or sexual abuse, I hesitate to give an opinion because often someone comes along to neg me for feeling the way I feel. I think people should be made aware of potentially triggering books. I was held hostage by a man in his dark apartment while he held the door shut and attempted to take my clothes off and harass me to have sex with him. I was at his apartment to pick up a bed that I had purchased. The situation went dark fast. So the spot in this book where the young girl was trapped in this man's cellar (?) And she realized that she was in extreme danger, it brought back that situation and all the fear and darkness. It's a struggle to not feel as if I am back in the apartment.

Thanks for your compassion.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that.

I remember trying to read it when I was 19 or so, and couldn’t get through it.

Awww, I feel you. It's funny because I knew someone was going to die. I knew that going into the book. But the author is quite gifted in making the story feel real. It was a bit too real for me!
