This was haunting, confronting and at times so tense I declared it a ‘only read during the day’ book. The authors ability to describe the visceral sensation of such fear inducing experiences was beyond anything I had ever read before.

This book genuinely surprised me. I'm not entirely sure what I expected, but it wasn't to be holding back tears at work. Emma is such a good main character. You hate her and love her on every page.
I'll never recover for the love I have for Earl.
One of my biggest pet peeves for books is when children speak like adults. The book falls into this a few times, but it's such a bizarre story and tone that I barely cared. Every content warning you can imagine, so proceed with caution.
