nini23's review against another edition
There is nothing wrong with this book, I just can't stomach a 17-year-old while grieving family deaths being subsumed by an older 'man of God.'

Devoured this book, absolutely devoured it. This is such an interesting one because it’s subject matter is objectively difficult to read (grief, abuse, domestic violence) but the way it’s structured - short chapters, varying POVs and a really compelling story makes it so very readable. Fans of Tomorrow I Become a Woman will want to read this, thank you to Canongate for my copy.
