5.0
I devoured this book and couldn’t put it down. I love the story being told from the viewpoint from an unreliable narrator, especially when it concerns events when she was just a baby herself.
I especially love the reveal that she actually did give the baby her pills to try to get her to stop crying. Because on on one hand, she definitely didn’t fully get it when she was nine, on the other hand the way she talks about it now says she still doesn’t get it and the thought of her raising a baby is concerning at best.
