I wish I liked this book a lot more than I do. As soon as I realized what was going on, I knew what was going to happen, just not how - and I REALLY and TRULY hate that for me because this was a fun book to listen to, and really well written.

Definitely was not expecting the ending on this one! I thought I had everything figured out and by the time the big twist was revealed, I was in shock! It just kept getting better!

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.
