What did I actually just read? This book had me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning and I finished it in one day. I kept going wtf! And my heart was broken. So good
Oh, wow! I finished this in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down. It's an unsettling, gripping read about inherited family trauma, gut instincts, and motherhood taboos. Thoroughly recommend.
This book was a little hard to get into. I think the second person POV threw me a bit. But after that it was a good story. Very dark and sad. A little bit like The Perfect Child but the ending of this was so much better. I know this story is about the mom and child mostly, but gosh, I hate dads like that. His wife was struggling when their daughter was first born and he just goes on ignoring her issues and leaving, not realizing shes stuck in her own personal hell without reprieve. So irritating.
