There are many ugly things in this book, so check content warnings. There's not a lot of graphic detail, just description enough to explain what happened to these girls. It's hard to look at, but like most difficult things I think it's important to understand what ugliness actually exists. I also want to stress that there's beauty in this novel, too. But it's the kind that makes your heart ache.

Well, what a fantastic production this was. I'm so glad I went ahead and waited until I had an Audible account to get to this one. The full cast really made this story special.
The way this story unfolded was genius. I felt like I could really connect with Sadie and the people that tried to help her on her journey.
It left me with a weird feeling of melancholy and heart ache. What Sadie set as her mission was valiant and selfless and I was with her for the whole of it.
I thought we'd have a more closed conclusion, but with a story like this, I mean it mirrors real life so well... there never really is a conclusion to the mysteries of life.

‘I don't expect it to bring her back. It won't bring her back. It's not about finding peace. There will never be peace.BI'm not under any illusion about how little of me will be left after I do this one thing.’
‘A world at the end of the world.’
‘I don’t want him to do what he's doing, talking to me like I'm some wild thing, like I can be calmed down with the gentleness he's dressed his voice in.’
‘"It'll h-heal f-fine."It'll heal ugly.” Most things do’
