"I am someone who survives. I am a liar and I'm a thief and I'm a con artist. And I hope I'm still the girl you're in love with, because I am really, really in love with you."
4 1/2 stars
Ohhhhh. That was good.
Sharpe's story is as sharp(e) as her name - it skirts no edges, and deflects no lines. Brutal, haunting, and irrevocably unforgettable.
This is a book about many people, and one person. It's a collection of many stories. Stories about trauma and love and the press of bruised skin and finding yourself. The characters are tender and oh-so-real, but there is no shying away from the darkness in here. We start at the end, and we work back through the past, untangling the webbed histories of the people our protagonist has passed by. We watch Nora unfold, and it's like a chrysalis opening.
It's about knives and secrets and all the ways you can hurt and be hurt. But even through all that - it's about friendship, and healing, and the mysterious grey ways light works in.
