Such an incredible read. I picked it up and did not set it back down until it was done. I finished in just a few hours. Such a sad and tragic tale with a satisfying ending. Women supporting women, the fight to get justice. I love every moment of it

4.0

This is the second book I’ve read from Ihli and wow. Such a cool premise. The first half of the book moved pretty slow for me and I was waiting for the girls to connect. But when they did that’s when it really picked up. I loved the bonds these girls formed with each other, even beyond death, and their determination to get justice for each other. Violence against women isn’t fiction, but often times justice can seem fictional.

this book gives these girls the justice all the real life victims of violence deserve but often do not see. It’s cathartic in a way.

Both this book and her other book Run on Red, tell womens’ stories of strength, of friendship, and of resilience. Highly recommend, but check trigger warnings. Definitely going to keep my eye on this author!!
