There is such a strong portrayal of motherly love and questions of what makes you who you are. The bond between Dev and Cai is very dear. Ultimately, this book is about the bond between mother and child and the lengths someone would go to protect their family. I wasn't expecting the book to weigh so heavily into that theme, but it's a pleasant surprise.

This book was also very sad, just the horrible things that were done to her, the lies told.
And holy crap, Sunyi Dean knows how to write loathsome, vile characters!
