What a disturbing book lol. She really knows how to write disgusting things. I really enjoyed this and how dark it was, while also talking about important events and things like Covid, pedophilia, childhood abuse, and drug abuse. I really loved the sister relationships(she always does such a good job with it). I really liked how strong our female characters were. This did make me cry which I wasn’t expecting.

Great hard-hitting thriller.  I stayed up too late to finish this one.

This book is about violent crimes. If you are easily triggered, you probably shouldn't read this.
