Not an easy topic and I would definitely check out the trigger warnings due to the difficult premise dealt with her but genuinely thought it was very well written, and there were alot of conflicted emotions I dealt with as a result as I was reading. I think there is still a moral compass that the author wanted each character to have and how boundaries are tested when dealing with selfish and selflessness and how that means different things to different people. I was gasping alot of the times with the plot twists and could never predict where the story was headed - which was a relief as I was not sure where the book was heading when the tragedy takes place in the beginning of the book. Kia Abdullah is formidable in making you feel all the emotions and I will absolutely be picking more of her titles in the future!

Incredible story
It was heartbreaking. Poor Yasmin. I cannot fathom the thought of losing 2 children in horrific ways.
I highly highly recommend reading this.
