some pretty heavy trigger warnings in this book! it was a good slow burn read with twists and turns everywhere. some parts were very dark and difficult to get through, but overall it was worth the read.

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 the audiobook and really enjoyed it's fast pace. With the podcast and documentary bits it might work even better as an audiobook. I really like the speakers as well.
