You follow 3 sisters as they are abused at home, run away, and are abused by strangers, then start a new life in a new city. It's a book that requires you to check the trigger warnings first but it's such a good read. The writing is engaging and the story is paced beautifully. One of my favorite Chevy books for sure. It doesn't have a traditional Chevy twist but I don't think it needed it, the story is the story.
Its a challenging reread because I found myself waiting for the rougher parts and putting the book down to avoid them a little longer but the story still pulled me in and I read the entire thing in about 4 sittings. It was a great way to finish out January 2024.

All of this feels extremely like an irresponsible way to use this typical thriller trope. Their victimization history should not be used this way. It should not be framed as something that will catch up with them eventually. And to put them in a situation to make the same decisions and lead them back to that situation feels like a lazy way to engage with the idea of being re-victimized.
Overall, while I understand what the book is trying to do, I feel like it was done irresponsibly.
