Thank you @prhaudio for a copy of this audiobook.
This is a heavy read and be prepared for some intense topics such as addiction, child neglect and prostitution. The story is told by Arc and her life with her twin, Daffy, who lives with their mom and aunt who are both addicts and prostitutes. The girls life changes drastically when their grandmother dies.
The story is about these girls lack of upbringing and how they survived in such neglect. The writing is so beautiful and vulnerable. I love how the book centers on the other side of savage is a beautiful side and how this told throughout the story.
The narrator did such a phenomenal job with all the voices and bringing the personalities to life.
