This book was heavy and hard to read in big doses because of that. I also had a hard time with the writing style. But I did love the twists throughout and was shocked by some of the things that came to light throughout! Overall a good read!

This story of 2 sisters as they move in and out of each other's lives is gritty, slightly dark, and a bit of an emotional ride as all the heartbreak of addiction is covered. Though it got off to a bit of a slow start for me, at about 1/3 in, I was ALL in - the characters, particularly the main character of Mickey as I learned more about her. Great character development, a few twists (one I did NOT see coming), kept the pages turning quickly. Ostensibly a mystery (young women being killed in a community), that plot really takes a back seat to the tragedy of drug addiction and the fallout from that lifestyle. Definitely recommended.
