This book was…not what I expected to get into. I went in blind as I do with so many books and it was so good! I enjoyed the character development and the different perspectives throughout the book keep you guessing. If you are looking for a book to convince someone to *NOT* adopt or foster kids, this is the book for you. There are a lot of content warnings with this one, a few that I did not expect. I actually had to put this book down several times while reading because it got too graphic for me( which says a lot!!). I would read anything Lucinda berry writes as she perfectly captures psychological trauma  in all of her books.

This might just be the most disturbing book I've ever read, or the most disturbed I've ever been and I've read a lot of disturbing books, but this just tops it in a very weird way. I just wanted to read a thriller... I'm gonna take a breather and read and watch some fluffy stuff, cause my last read was also very disturbing...

This book was exceptional except I cannot stand Christopher. He is the WORST but the author is a clinical psychologist and im sure she’s seen dads just like that.
