Super quick read. So well written from different perspectives and years. Just a very dark, disturbing storyline.

This book was really good but sad. This shows what happens when family secrets are not handled properly and it effects future generations to come.

This was a tough read.

It’s an inter-generational story that follows a family. It follows their trauma and the ways each persons experiences have an impact on the future generations.

There is a lot of abuse and neglect and sexual assault. And these family me members carry it all in very different ways.
