Christine Lakin was a perfect choice to narrate this story!

This book is a wild ride. You realize that our narrator is unreliable around 30% in and from that part onward you have to hold on tight. I believe the official description calls this story “savage and tender” and those are perfect descriptors. 

I also know I tend to love books with stream of consciousness and Baby’s mind is a confusing and rich sandbox. I know that this story is not for everyone, but for it is for— it’s spectacular. I was more interested to be in her world than I was in the plot, but I was also very interested in how this story was going to conclude. I was not disappointed. It really fit the chaotic nature of the story.
