Challenging subject matter but also I believe an important read. I enjoyed the use of many character‘s perspectives as you were able to feel immersed in the community but also at times found it hard to follow who was who.
Please be aware that the plot centres around a sexual assault and abuse, so take caution before reading.

I highly recommend the audio book read by Michaela Washburn! Washburn brings out the warmth and vulnerability in this beautifully written book. The story is told from multiple perspectives and Washburn's performance brings each character to life.
