Wow, this book did not disappoint. It’s just as good as The Break (maybe even better) with a few overlapping characters that I liked catching up with. Vermette can really write. Her characters are sympathetic -in that they are likeable (or at least understandable)- and incredibly well rounded.
Graphic: Abandonment and Child death
Moderate: Abortion, Addiction, Cursing, Drug abuse, Grief, Pregnancy, Self harm, Suicidal thoughts, and Suicide attempt
Minor: Death and Death of parent
