Synopsis:

"They strip her naked, of everything—undo her whalebone corset, hook by hook. Locked away in Wildthorn Hall—a madhouse—they take her identity. She is now called Lucy Childs. She has no one; she has nothing. But, she is still seventeen—still Louisa Cosgrove, isn't she? Who has done this unthinkable deed? Louisa must free herself, in more ways than one, and muster up the courage to be her true self, all the while solving her own twisted mystery and falling into an unconventional love . . . "



Review:
Can we just start with the cover? That cover is gorgeous, love it!

Even though I give this book a 3/5 it still was an amazing book and I recommend everyone to read it. The protagonist, Louisa, is a very strong willed character and she will go after anything that she believes in. Even if other people think that it isn't right, or isn't "ladylike." She has this big secret, which is really different any book that I've read before. (You'll have to read it to find out what it is)

There were a lot of twists and turns and you just kept wanting to read more and more because you wanted to figure out what happened. Louisa gets taken to an insane asylum and she doesn't really know how she got there or what she is doing there, and when you find out who actually put her in there it is very shocking. It was the last person who I expected it to be.

The writing was really good, the characters are well written but the only think that I didn't really like about it was how repetitive is was. It repeated the same line, but in a different way, a lot of times and I just felt like saying, "Okay! We know that already."

It was really good though, and I would recommend you all to read it!
