This book! My heart! This story was incredible. This is my first T. Kingfisher read and I am so impressed. I absolutely adored the main character! She felt intensely familiar and I love how much I could relate to her. As I read through this book I could not get the phrase “hurt people, hurt, people.” Out of my head. It’s so prevalent in this and as a child from a southern family that has had her share of emotional and religious trauma I really felt connected to this story. The horror was intense and graphic and vile and I loved every second of it.
