I picked this book up at an op shop when I was a teenager simply because the title intrigued me. While reading I was lulled into a false sense of security only to have the rug ripped out from underneath me half way through. It shook me to my core, my ears became red and hot . I thought about it for days after.
Looking back years later it’s a book that’s stuck with me. I remember reading it vividly. But definitely read the triggers because this book deals with a lot of heavy topics.
