This book really hooked me and never let me go. I really enjoyed and ached with Merry as our mc. It gave this book, and the story it wanted to tell, a clear nuanced and realistic tone, and made all the uncomfortable scenarios feel skin deep. The writing was fluid and hard to take your eyes off, I sped through it and couldn't stop bc I needed to know more. I hurt for Marjorie, a really likeable character who totally deserved better. Better parents. Better community. Better. I really loved the sisters relationship, it was so wholesome and full of love that makes everything that happens a deeper, soul crushing tragedy. A truly memorable, hard to put down book.
