How do you judge someone who’s had a really traumatic experience and as a result has turned to a terrible person? Do you blame the people who caused her trauma or do you blame her for not learning to be a better person considering what she herself went through? 


These were my questions as I read this  book. And one thing I took from this book is that trauma doesn’t always end with one person. Sometimes, it’s a cycle that passes from one person to another until it’s difficult to trace where it came from. 

I enjoyed this book. It explored the life of a toxic mother and her damaged children but especially her last child and favorite, Lily.
