nikkihall's review against another edition

While well written, this was horrifying to read. This woman's actions are truly evil and I just couldn't read any more.

This book is a true story but it is unbelievable. It is graphic, sad and frustrating.

dark sad slow-paced

3.0

This is a very intriguing story. Sickening for sure! I didn’t care for the way it was written, though. It probably could have been half the size. A ton of unnecessary repetition. Also, the title is misleading. They may be bonded in sisterhood right now, but they were completely dissociated growing up.

1.5

The writing in this book really ruined it for me. It felt very poor for the first half, after that it just seemed I had grown “used” to it. The events described are horrific, and it’s hard to remember that these are things people truly lived through and experienced. Reading their story is really the only thing that kept me reading. Their events are told in detail though, so this book is not for the faint of heart as some of the things described are incredibly hard to read.
