Wow just wow! This book is creepy, riveting and will have you not pause one second!!
Strange Sally Diamond is absolutely beautifully written. From the plot to character development, chefs kiss. This is not a story for everyone, it is very dark. Although a lot of people did not like the ending I appreciated the realism behind a not so happy ending, that’s life.
Sally Diamond is the product of a pedophile who kidnapped her mother who was an 11 year old. You go through the trauma and “social deficiencies” Sally struggles with as she just learns she was adopted by the two psychologists that helped her and her mother adapt into society once found. Not only do you hear the story of Sally but also have the chance to learn about Sally’s older sibling who is also a product of rape and lived with Sally until she was found but was treated completely different.
This book is haunting and will stay with me for a while.
