It's very heavily implied that Monday was sexually abused, no actual incest happens but it is mentioned when they talk about "flowers in the attic"

I finished this book in a day and a half. This book had me crying on the inside. It's one of the best books I've read in a long time!

Part of me knew what was coming but it was still one of the most tense audiobooks I've ever listened too. I was on edge the entire 10 hours just hoping it didn't end as cruelly as I knew it would.
