This was an addictive read following foster sisters Krystal and Nichole. After Nichole suffers a psychotic break, Krystal is determined to get to the bottom of things. Even if it means unearthing the skeletons from their past. Good pacing, but the ending was unsatisfying.

Such a twisted book. The main characters are “sisters” who grew up in foster care together and endured a rough childhood with an awful foster mother and her daughter. As the plot moves on, you find out more about their dark past and how that is still connecting to and deciding their futures. If you like a good story about family secrets, this is a book for you.
