There was so much potential for strong character development but somehow everyone felt flat. Even the father was so promising and was a great opportunity for hope amid all the pain and trauma, but even he was one-dimensional.
In the end it was just one trauma after another with little plot or hope.

This is exactly how you write stories of trauma - with reflection and compassion, and balanced with a gorgeous prose defined by its fine-tuned attention to detail
Check the trigger warnings because there’s some graphic stuff in this book but if you can stomach it it’s absolutely worth the read

This book also felt very complete: every theme felt like it was explored thoroughly. A lot of books just toss out a subject matter but leave it undeveloped.

Moderate: Abortion, Incest, Sexual assault, and Sexism
