This is a very hard book to read because it is so heavy. I have never cried so hard while reading a book.

Maybe because I’m a boy mom of a 15 year old, but this story punched me right in the gut. How utterly devastating. How do you go your whole parenthood protecting them from predators to this? The whole thing was too real and devastating. I’m just gutted about it. I pray I never have to endure this reality past the pages of this book.

Wow. I was at 5 stars until the reveal about Lucas. Death to Lucas. Mom was also annoying.

Hey, quick question. What the fuck was this??

The mom was so fucking insufferable, oh my god. It’s “yes my son did something terrible but can you PLEASE get over it?” every other sentence. I feel like this book tried very hard to garner support and sympathy for pedophiles, even making light of the molestation and that does not sit right with me. Perhaps I’m a bit of an extremist but I do think they should all d*e 🤭 btw, I didn’t appreciate the twist. The dad being a secret pedophile when he could have just been normal and against pedophilia and utterly disgusted with his child? Lame and he should have k*lled himself too.

This entire book is about a pedophile, features a lot of brushing off/under reacting of the abuse, and almost victim blaming tbh.

Wow - this was good but so dark! Definitely a topic people don’t talk about much and an interesting one too.
