Wow. There are no words. This book is so dark, emotional and yet so amazing. It will stay with me for a long time. I was so invested in Sally’s life and story. I felt so much for and how hard she overcame obstacles and trauma. Please please check trigger warnings. There are so many horrific things in this book and many times I had to pause and think just because I couldn’t believe what I heard. I shook my head so many times. This book is excellent. The writing is great and the story had a good amount of mystery to put things together. If you can handle the triggers I truly recommend this book. How did I wait so long to read this?
