It was for sure! I didn't understand it either, it seemed purposeless to me, but maybe it was due to the version of the book i obtained? I am not sure. Thank you so much for commenting!

I like thrillers, but at the same time, I hate blank pages. They leave me confused as to if the blank pages are left on purpose, or are they printing mistakes? Thanks for the great review!

I agree with your sentiments that it is upsetting to consider a mother's poor treatment of her child. The plot sounds quite extraordinary and creative though. So, hopefully the issue of the blank pages can be fixed.

Thank you for sharing your opinions of this book.
