The coat hanger scene will stick with me for the rest of my life. 
For such a horrific story, it was so realistically beautifully done, the girls almost felt like real people. 
Morbid curiosity had me wanting more backstory on John, why he was the way he was, or the reasons but this was never about John.
It took me longer to finish than usual because the topics were so awful, but it was well worth the read and I’ll be reading more of her work!
