Warning that it is a very heavy, dark, emotional story so take care of yourself and be cautious of triggers.

Very hard but important read. Be mindful of the content warnings especially sexual abuse, child abuse, and the rest. Really liked this one. I was listening to this at a very fast pace to be able to go to book club (hit 88% rip) and so may have missed some. Not an easy read to listen to as character pov jumps at a break neck speed so be mindful of that.
I didn’t read the actual novel but saw copies of it during the book club meeting and I love that there is a family tree in it. Which would be useful as a lot of the characters go by nicknames of their actual names so it can get confusing w that as well!
