Ultimately, this book felt painfully slow to me. I’m hardcore a plot girlie, and this was largely based around character development, so I think that’s what didn’t work for me. The parts I was most excited to see played out took maybe 15-20% of the book and the rest was the girls all falling in love and reuniting and flashing back to high school. It was fine, but not my cup of tea.
Thank you NetGalley for gifting me an advanced copy of the book. All opinions are my own.

I knew I had to read this book when I saw the title and that it was a revenge novel. I think a lot of us girls/women in the south loved that song because domestic violence is really bad here.
So to see an entire book made from it was amazing. But this isn't a light-hearted book. It is heavy. Really heavy. Please check all the warning before reading it.
I really enjoyed it. It was hard to put down. I love a good book about found family and a village of women looking out for each other. Cross-Smith adds Christianity to her books which is usually a deterrent for me. But it isn't overwhelming and the characters are respectful to other beliefs.
There were a few things I didn't like but overall I thought it was a fantastic book and will be buying a copy for my shelves.
