Wow. There are no words. This book is so dark, emotional and yet so amazing. It will stay with me for a long time. I was so invested in Sally’s life and story. I felt so much for and how hard she overcame obstacles and trauma. Please please check trigger warnings. There are so many horrific things in this book and many times I had to pause and think just because I couldn’t believe what I heard. I shook my head so many times. This book is excellent. The writing is great and the story had a good amount of mystery to put things together. If you can handle the triggers I truly recommend this book. How did I wait so long to read this?

I really enjoyed this book.  It was fresh and strange, and I couldn't put it down.  However, it's one of those books that people will love or hate.  This book has many trigger warnings, so if you are a sensitive reader, looking up content warnings would be a good idea.  At its heart, it is a crime novel that focuses on victims with unique voices.
