When I Am Through with You by Stephanie Kuehn

When I Am Through with You

by Stephanie Kuehn

A gripping story of survival and the razor’s-edge difference between perfect cruelty and perfect love.
 
“This isn’t meant to be a confession. Not in any spiritual sense of the word. Yes, I’m in jail at the moment. I imagine I’ll be here for a long time, considering. But I’m not writing this down for absolution and I’m not seeking forgiveness, not even from myself. Because I’m not sorry for what I did to Rose. I’m just not. Not for any of it.”
 
Ben Gibson is many things, but he’s not sorry and he’s not a liar. He will tell you exactly about what happened on what started as a simple school camping trip in the mountains. About who lived and who died. About who killed and who had the best of intentions. But he’s going to tell you in his own time. Because after what happened on that mountain, time is the one thing he has plenty of.
 
Smart, dark, and twisty, When I Am Through With You will leave readers wondering what it really means to do the right thing.

Intriguing, but somewhat flat. All the characters except Ben felt superficial, and I found Rose incomprehensible and annoying. Honestly, by the time they started the trip I was rooting for Ben to just get it over with and off her already. The frequent chapter breaks (51 chapters in a sub-300 page book!) made the whole story feel disjointed and knocked me out of the story.

I was provided a ARC of this book in return for an honest review.
