The Good Girl was almost TO real for me. I had a quite a few moments where I had to just pause and try to breathe.
The way Michelle Dunne writes about abuse is just gut wrenching, and for me, it took me back to when I was a child, and that was absolutely frightening.
With that said this was an incredible book.
The way Dunne portrayed the bond between siblings, the torture, the emotional abuse, I’m just in awe.
I loved the narrator Emer Heatley, she truly brought this book to life.
I definitely want to recommend this book, but please, be aware of the triggers such as:
- Extreme child abuse (lots of it)
- Rape
- Drug use
- Abuse overall (lots and lots, and lots.)
A huge thanks to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media, Michelle Dunne and the narrator Emer Heatley for this amazing opportunity.
