The plot was confusing and although I liked it, I think it could have been better developed. I didn’t love it.
The best part of this book is not the plot, though, is the subtext about abuse, which is really interesting and I think amazingly done, specially for a YA book. This book deals with ptsd, gaslighting, intergenerational trauma in such a good way, I though that was really hard to read but also it was really well developed.
Also, let’s talk about white trash and farming, and weird families and inbreeding? this book really delivered when it comes to that, so reading it was great for my dark-humored mind.
