Not terrible but not my fav. I didn’t like the constant back and forth between “then” and now.

🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW🎧

Oh man...this book was ALOT!! I LOVE Miss Lucinda Berry, but I think this was by far her darkest book yet. Yes, even darker than Saving Noah.

That being said, I really enjoyed it despite the heaviness of the content of the book. If you are looking for something super fast paced get this one! BUT... CHECK THOSE TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!

I also really enjoyed the narrator. She did an amazing job!
