If you like victim blaming and holding children accountable for the way adults abuse them, you’ll love this. There’s also a healthy dose of ableism.

These characters should have lived on Liars Lane. Every time I thought we had finally met a trustworthy character I was quickly proven incorrect. 

While the book was good, it didn’t keep me super interested. I constantly found myself avoiding this book and only picking it up because I needed to finish it, not because I couldn’t wait to finish it.

The mother and daughter are absolutely insufferable.
