I’ve been thinking about this book ever since I finished it. The amount of dread, anxiety, and genuine interest/curiosity that I had while reading cannot be understated.

I felt for both Claire and Eva and hated the cards they were dealt. Two women who couldn’t be any more different, but both enduring their own personal hell, ending up on this collision course. Ugh. As the reader, you could truly sense the desperation and the need for survival (by any means necessary) through Clark’s immersive and reflective writing.

I wanted to note that I really liked Claire’s demeanor. She was dealing with a lot of sh*t that was high stakes, but she recovered quickly and tried to figure out her next move as best as she could when her plans didn’t go the way she expected them to. I doubt I’d be able to do what she did and do it well! 😭

Final Thoughts: Overall, I recommend! I really enjoyed this fresh storyline, the dual POVs and of course, how everything came together in the end. The ending was bittersweet; heartbreaking even, but both women did get the things they wanted most: freedom and liberation.
