If You Tell by Gregg Olsen

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

This was not an easy book to read. It's based on a true story, which makes it all the more disturbing. I'm glad that the 3 sisters got through it together and that there were repercussions for their parents (not enough, in my opinion)

I have absolutely zero sympathy for the father and I think him playing as if he's another victim is gross.

I wasn't a fan of how the book was written. I know the author interviewed various people and had to use these to piece together different points of views for the book, but it felt really awkwardly written. I think this made it annoying to read. 

So me not giving 5 stars is not to do with the heartwrenching story but with the actual writing style.
