Spoiler
Such as choosing not to bring Rusty into the story until much later because he was often described as an absent father who put work first, and in that way he was even absent to the reader for quite awhile. Or that Sam was treated as if she was dead up until her intro to the story a few chapters in, because to Charlie she might as well have been dead.Spoiler
Like Rusty asking Charlie to lie about being assaulted or how Sam told Charlie she was able to see when she couldn’t to comfort Charlie.Graphic: Death, Gore, Mass/school shootings, Murder, Child death, Sexual harassment, Sexual violence, Blood, Death of parent, Medical trauma, Miscarriage, Physical abuse, Police brutality, Rape, Pedophilia, and Sexual assault

I really did enjoy this book because ms. karin knows how to write. there were some parts that were slow and a bit more “boring” which is why it isn’t a full 5 star from me. i also never guess twists and i guessed one of them like halfway through so that hindered my enjoyment a little bit but the other twist had me by the THROAT
