If you say the word plot twist I WILL think of this one. Insane, stabbed my heart, I cried, I closed the book, tears rolling down and started to think about my whole life. I actually am not a fan of theater but this one took my heart. The character of the mother made me feel so much that I can’t even describe it. A lot of insanely good metaphors to talk about love, betrayal, rape, childhood that will be printed in your head. I loved this book and it was horrible and heartbreaking but I loved it so much.
