4.0
Girl A was the one to escape, but so many of them handled it differently and it kind of talks us through their traumas and therapies but also their growth in themselves and their careers.
Heartbreakingly well written it almost felt real which was truly devastating, I felt anger, pain and so much emotion for them. What really got me was the shock twist at the end. Having grown to love Girl A and her strength and especially one of her relationships with one of her sisters through the book I didn’t see this twist coming and it almost broke me.
Although this was fiction, I feel it’s a vital read for all just like non fictions like Heather Morris’s war autobiography’s and Cathy glass autobiography’s of her ex foster kids as it truly encapsulates the privalege many of us live and how real these traumatic experiences can be for others who are perhaps being hid behind the curtain.
