"And because it wouldn't be Holly's life if everything didn't go to shit at the same time..."
I don't think there has ever been a quote that could sum up an entire book so well until now. I love stories that are dark versions of the ones I loved as a kid. But this book? DARK. I've never read something so horrifying. Peter Pan the sexual predator and drug dealer- not my cup of tea. HOWEVER!! What bothered me the most is that Holly spent the whole book running around like a chicken with its head cut off. It's almost as if the author just lost her timeline for the book and just started throwing everything she could think of into it.
