Dark and upsetting thriller. Extremely gripping, but tough subject matter. Difficult read if you have a history of CSA or children/loved ones with ASD.

i listened to this in audiobook format and couldn’t imagine it any differently. if you decide to pick this one up, listen to it on an audiobook. it’s pretty predictable bc the point is literally in the title BUT totally worth the listen. i read her book then she was gone back in october and now this, im a new fan, cant wait to read more of her works!!
