She went through a lot!

I’m reading this book right now AFTER watching the movie only because I didn’t know it was based on a book and while I know what happens in the end, the book is still more raw and captivating than the movie. Definitely recommend!! <3

Fans of psychological thrillers will appreciate the layered character development and the suspense that unfolds as Ani confronts her past.
