If it was meant as a warning for Shelly's release or even as a toolkit for others to recognize how severe abuse can be so subtle in its nature to integrate so fully in a victim's life, the message could've been conveyed with about 200 less pages and repetitive drawn out torture scenes. However, these lessons are barely conveyed successfully anyways. The writing is vague, confusing, and the author truly uses the word "niggled" un-ironically at one point. Like? Seriously? That's not even a real word and it sounds childish at best.
Skip this shock value torture nonsense. Just know their mother was vile and we need to believe in victims.

The story was told in an easy and comprehensive way, with only a few issues: A jumpy timeline and certain slow/non-important parts.
A good read, but beware the tragic events this book contains.
