I feel like you never know what you’re going to get with Lisa (and I love that!!). I like that this story was from multiple perspectives and especially that a majority of it was from Pip’s. There is something quite eerie about a child’s point of view on adult happenings. Now, I’m not a mom (yet!), but I can imagine that this story would really make a parents’ skin crawl. As usual, this was a five-star read.
