This book was gripping, disturbing, and painful in such an emotional way. It's going to take me a while to process it. It's heartbreaking and stunning and completely took me by surprise. My heart is still racing from the plot twists and chaos of this book. If you enjoyed the backstory of The Queen's Gambit (the orphanage and drug part) then you NEED to read this.
PG-13+ for language, violence, gore, and abuse. Trigger warning for emotional, physical, and slight sexual abuse
