Genuinely might be my favorite read of the year so far. Does a fantastic job handling hard content. Really envelopes you emphatically. Phenomenal read.

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK. AH FUCK OFF. Would’ve loved this EXCEPT the pregnancy troupe - minus one star. AND THEN MINUS ALL THE REST FOR BIRTHING A BABY IN THE WOODS IN DECEMBER and cutting the umbilical cord WITH HER TEETH.

I liked learning about wolves.

I’m not sure the “twist” ending with the sister being the perpetrator and getting away with it was for me. I also couldn’t get over the fact that she was pregnant and just ignored that for the whole pregnancy?!? What if something had happened to the baby?
