“She’s a very dangerous woman. And nobody knows but me.”
This book felt like a hundred pages too long for me because of how slow it was. The big reveal didn’t really have that shock factor I was expecting. I think Dawn was in the Autism spectrum but that wasn’t confirmed nor denied in the book. Freida McFadden isn’t the best author to write anything about mental illnesses because I feel the way she portrays them does more harm than good.
