This book explores how childhood trauma impacted the central character.
Sally's character is so odd but yet you still want her to become all she can be. I was cheering her on as she forged friendships. I like how this story acknowledged that Sally really did not know how to feel and process things. It looked at how fucked up her adoptive dad was too and how he realized too late that he did not do right by Sally.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book but the subject matter was much heavier and harder to read than I thought it would be. I was a bit surprised by the ending of this one. If you decide to read, go into this with your eyes wide open knowing parts will be very uncomfortable.

The themes are pretty dark, more than the blurb prepared me for. Overall, I enjoyed the writing, pacing, overall story but it wasn’t my cup of tea. A little too dark, especially the ending.
