First 3 star of the year for me! This book was quick pace and easy to read. Not saying this isn’t a good book but it definitely wasn’t for me with the amount of derogatory language and names I did not like. And it gave Christianity a bad name with the way it was used in this book. It was not so favorable in terms of real storytelling but of course that was because of it being from a third person view. I only really stayed to find out how each of the girls had died. By the 3/4 point of the book you know why the Lisbon sisters killed themselves. It was a sad story but was not the most interesting.
