Listen... this was some disturbing, disgusting, hillbilly Alabama, weird, problematic af BS. 
Don't ask why I gave it 4⭐️ because I have no idea. 
I'm ashamed to say I liked it. I don't agree with it. I cringed my way through and turned green more than once, but it was like a train wreck I couldn't look away from. 
🤷🏼‍♀️
If this was irl I would call the police 😆

What was that?! I went into this book loosely knowing what it was about, and let me just say—I was notprepared. That’s not to say I didn’t have a good time, but… goodness gracious! This entire book was one gigantic red flag 🚩 after another. I don’t even know how to process it. I’m in shock.

Let me just start by saying: I didn’t fully like any of these characters. If I could pick and choose pieces of their personalities and delete the rest, sure, maybe. But as they are? I dunnoooo… And I mean honestly, the whole town needs help lol. Noah? I thought he was going to be a cute, lovable, golden-retriever-type guy, but he was so aggressive anytime he didn’t get his way. And speaking of aggressive… HELLO? Kaleb? SIR?? We listen and we tell the judge 👨‍⚖️. Lowkey, I started skipping scenes with him until close to the end because he was just so unessecarily aggressive, which might explain why I was so confused about the final choice 😅. And Uncle Jake? Yeah, he’s just… Uncle Jake. He’s got issues. We know this 🙂‍↕️. Tiernan… I can’t decide if you’re the luckiest girl or the most unluckiest girl lol. 

Anywho, I could go on forever about all the things that left me spiraling, but in conclusion: I read it. I saw it. I experienced it. I am forever traumatized. But somehow? I had lots of fun!

The fact that this is just abuse of a child is so weird. No excuse of “trauma ages you” excuses behavior like this.
