This is my first time having a problem expressing my feelings and thoughts after reading a book. And it happens to be my first Mindy McGinnis's book. I may need a few moments, excuse me. (_" 
 "This is how I kill someone. And I don't feel bad about it." 
 I was completely hooked from the first chapter--Told from 3 point of views, Alex's is my most favourite. She's not afraid to stand up for herself and her friends at all and I can only hope to be a little bit as brave as her. Even though her character and personality looks like she is the strongest one in the story, she is probably the most flawed of any other character. 
 Her sister was killed in a gruesome way and the killer has actually been set free, which has sparked Alex to do something far beyond expectations. She got her own reasons for everything she has done, and I couldn't see her as a bad person no matter how much I tried. To be honest, I love Alex so much. She's my girl-crush. She's not the best role model, but she's my hero. And she always chooses her words carefully because she speaks, makes her look a little bit weird and genius at the same time. 
 "Ray Parsons, you have no soul," she says, her voice gaining volume as she speaks. "You are a bag of skin. You are a pile of bones. Every cell that has ever split inside of you was a waste of energy. Where you walk you leave a vacuum. Your existence should cease." 
 Second POV--I don't really like Jack, sorry. He might be the guy that all girls want to date, and also all guys want to be--Smart, popular, talented and good-looking but I just can't stand how confused he is when it comes to love and sexual needs. I came across one review that says that Jack is the epitome of "Boys will be boys..." and I kind of agree with it a little, hm. However, the way he sees Alex was adorable and I have to admit that they look cute together. 
 "I'm sorry," she says, and those words flow out easily, like she says them a lot. "I'm not used to..." 
 "Talking to boys?" I supply. 
 "Yes." 
 "Well, get used to it," I say, and before I even think about what I'm doing, I give her a punch on the arm. Which, it turns out, might have been the best thing I could do because she busts out laughing and punches me back. 
 And it kinda hurts. 
 And then, the third and last POV--Peekay/PK, a preacher's kid. She's rebellious, yet innocent in some ways. Lucky for her, her parents are very understanding. There's one scene where she had a serious and emotional conversation with her parents and I was amazed at how calm and well her parents handling the issue. 
 "Baby girl," Dad says. "There's nothing you can ever do that will make me you unwelcome in my house." 
 All characters in the story are complex and we can see that everyone is struggling with something. Be it vengeance or forgiveness, love or lust, and other things--all these characters feel so real to me and indeed, what makes this story so unique. Not just that, this book is so intense. Dark and violent, yet one of the most honest and realistic books I've ever read. 
 Bear in mind, this story focused on heavy topics--rape and sexual assault, and also a little bit of animal cruelty. There are also a lot of disturbing acts mentioned in the story. It was indeed a very difficult read. The revenge scenes were pretty graphic and I could imagine how it was all done in my head. This book was appalling, yet so incredibly important in so many ways that I couldn't put it down. 
 Mindy McGinnis is now one of my favourite authors. There, I've said it. I love her writing so much, and this reminds me of how much I need to read her previous books. 
 I'm sure that people will be talking about this book for a very long time. Because I sure as hell cannot stop talking and thinking about it. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth your time and attention. One of the books that made me swear every chapter or so. A rather unexpected ending and this book left me with tears and anger. 
 Thank you Katherine Tegen Books, HarperCollins International for providing me with an eARC in return for an honest review.
