I kind of feel like a freak for enjoying this as much as I did. There are so many reasons as to why I shouldn't have lied this, but I liked it anyway? I've only dabbled with dark fiction, but I can definitely say this is probably the darkest that I've ever read so far. I think it was a matter of Emily being aware of the fact that she was being conditioned and brainwashed by her captor, but there was still nothing she could really do to stop it. This really was a mind trip to read, because it has me so conflicted on how I feel. This is a rare book, in which high rating make sense to me, but at the same time, I completely understand any low ratings. Wow.
