The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry
4.0

Trigger warnings: child abuse, neglect, violence, foster care, infertility, gore, animal abuse, post traumatic stress. If you can handle 350 pages of these recurring themes, I would add this to your TBR. Though this was disturbing most of the time, it was insightful in a lot of ways and brought awareness to reactive attachment disorder and the ins and outs of social work for these situations. Definitely eye opening! The ending had a twist I wasn’t expecting, however the conclusion was underwhelming compared to the rest of the book.
