The older sister’s dedication to protect her younger, wayward sister is visceral and heartbreaking. The dynamics of the sisters and mother are familiar and tender. The struggles of the main character are poignant and bittersweet.
My only critique is that I wish the writing was more elevated. I think this book lost a lot of height in it’s prose; it was capable of a lot more. But it’s still fabulous.
Graphic: Murder
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Sexual violence

Minor: Sexual violence
While it is not prominently displayed in this work, sexual violence is mentioned in a few chapters towards the end of the novel. It is not graphic but just as a heads up.amelreads's review against another edition
