LOVED so hard. I was not expecting this book to be so addictive, beautiful, heartbreaking, and suspenseful. Where is Tess Sharpe? I feel like she owes me another book or five. She does her thing and does it well. I went through all the stages of grief, all the emotions. Chefs kiss.

Wow! Loved this book. A few loose ends left me wondering why they were introduced in the first place like

Olive being their safe phrase—was it Lee’s first “girl” name? Grey cap being an ex-fed or some other info Lee said making him rage—why did we not get the robbers’ stories? The man who was shot—did he die?

Most information about SA is discussed using coded phrases or intentionally vague references that the reader can fill the blanks in with. Sharpe did a good job of handling this tastefully while still not shying away from the reality and effects of such abuse

A book that I couldn’t put down. I don’t have enough good things to say. I wish the ending was a bit different and less mysterious but, it makes for a great book
