This was a such an interesting book. The story is dark, funny at times, and addictive. Sally Diamond is an incredible character, and I really enjoyed reading how her story played out.

SYNOPSIS
  • Sally can’t remember anything before her 7th birthday. She was adopted by a couple, and she doesn’t recall life before them.
  • Sally is in her 40s now, and her father recently passed from cancer. Her mother had died some time ago. Sally has always been a loner, and she has struggled socially. She gets severe anxiety when dealing with others. 
  • Peter’s story intertwines, and it starts when he is a young boy in the 1970s. 

MY THOUGHTS
  • Heavy topics.
  • Seamlessly woven together.
  • Writing flows so well. Impossible to put down.
  • Compelling, engrossing, & devastating read.
  • Two POVs + alternates between past & present.
  • Well-developed characters. Loved getting to learn the back stories.
  • It’s impossible to not root for Sally!

TL;DR: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Compelling, engrossing, & devastating read. Finished in 24 hrs.

Up until the ending of this book, I thought it would be 5 stars from me. What a letdown of an ending! Really awful. What happened?! Just so disappointing.
