This was not an easy book to read. It’s pretty graphic and deals with some really traumatic material. That being said, the writing and the way this book is constructed is full of emotion and vulnerability and not like much I’ve read before.

even though i like watching true crime stuff, I've never read a true crime book but this was genuinely one of the best books i have read in a while. it had me feeling disgusted most of the time but the writing was so good i just couldn’t put it down. will be thinking about it for a long time

Content warning: everything. Disturbing true crime and memoir of intergenerational trauma. Both nauseating and fascinating.
