I’m kinda over killer kids tbh, it’s just a little boring. It’s the same formula— kid hates mom, kid grows more violent but only mom notices, dad refuses to believe mom, mom ends up being right. But this was a fun little read to get me out of the rut I’ve been in. It was also refreshing to not hate the other woman. I did really appreciate that!

At the end when Fox tells Blythe that he covered for Violet destroying her clothes AND HE LAUGHS ABOUT IT— yeahhh. Yeah. You’re done. She gets it from him.

kathryn_reads_paiges's review against another edition

This was initially boring to me and the tropes here felt tired (nature vs nurture, unreliable narrator, etc.) I had a physical copy I flipped through and found it disturbing…yet predictable based on what I’d read.
