The Happiest Girl in the World by Alena Dillon

1.0

Listen, I finished this book, but I feel icky about it. There's something so wrong using the real victim's names and experiences in a fictional setting. The writing also reads as stilted in some places, and the flashes to the mother's POV reads surface level when it should have been more of an in depth. I didn't really like these characters that much, and feel like there were other issues that could have been addressed rather than focusing on the very real abuse and court cases that happened to real people and using their names.

Originally an ARC provided by NetGalley (but I fell behind)
