I saved the debut for last! The "twists" felt very obvious and we're annoyingly jammed into the last chapters, but I was still interested in how it all unfurled. It's incredible that in Flynn's first book she is already an expert at holding up a mirror to the horrors that white women perpetrate.
A message to those who didn't like this book because it made you uncomfortable: you SHOULD feel uncomfortable when consuming media about children being murdered ✌️
