mjd001's review

this book talks about abuse is so many forms. Very disturbing and should have trigger warnings on the cover.

Not that great of writing. I'm actually mad at how the girls waited so long to finally speak up about the horrors that took place in the home. Never bothering to tell anyone at school, Sammi going and telling Shelly that Shane had photos of Cathy. No one deserved to die and could of been avoided

Tykkään siitä miten Gregg Olsen kirjottaa tositapahtumista kuin ne ois fiktiota. Mutta se misogynian ja fat shaming oli ihan överiä tässä kirjassa! Et naiset haluaa vaan olla äitejä ja jos lihot 10 kiloa oot ihan kamalan läski. Yök.

Michelle knotek is the actual devil. She deserves to be in prison forever. Dave is dumb as rocks. This story is incredibly heartbreaking.
