I love this universe and author... but I won't lie- I was kind of disappointed... We were perfectly set up for another Hunting Adeline type story..
Instead, everything was just.... skipped? I felt like so much was glossed over. I didn't have the best connection to cage & I don't understand her leaving Layla the day before she was starting over in a nice new life.... She could have easily taken Layla with her and had her name changed.


Anyways, with all the complaints- I did genuinely enjoy the book. Molly was amazing and gave a good look into how trauma taints you for years to come.
Her inability to distance herself from her past is so familiar to so many trauma survivors. I loved the reaction of Molly meeting Layla and her adoptive parents. It was a realistic view at how reunification can be tough on everyone involved.
and ofc, the book was SEXY.
