Wow, this book is very dark and full of trauma. It went a totally different way than I expected it to. I could not stop listening though, the themes of this book have a way of pulling you in. Plus, so much more is revealed than anticipated. I did take a little off the rating due to the ending. Maybe I was expecting something more elaborate or off-the-wall to happen. It just ended after so much "work" was done that it felt disappointing. It didn't have to be a happy ending, it just felt flat. Before reading this, please look at the triggers!
tw: sexual assault, rape, child abuse, physical abuse, kidnapping, death, racism
