Really, really liked it, but was a little offput by the pacing.

The book starts off making me think every problem is the result of the main character being a bad mother. Eventually I started to realize the book meant for the child to be evil. It felt like the book changed halfway through from being a story about generational abuse, to a story about an all out evil child that the mother can't be blamed for. It was very thought provoking( which I like), but I was left wondering how the author intended me to interpret the story. I think that, as a book about abuses cycles, it is almost too extreme in its evolution. However, if viewed as a book about an evil child, than it properly explores all the environmental factors that cause the child to become the way she is.

Definitely a book I will be thinking about for a while.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat! I was really enthralled but then lost my interest toward the end because it ended kind of abruptly and it felt a little predictable. I was hoping we would get some other perspective outside of Blythe because I thought she was unreliable. But overall, I really enjoyed the audiobook!
