i am horrified at what i read in these 91 pages. reading about a grown falling in love with a child… there is nothing that can justify a grown man sexualizing a child. i don’t care how much empathy this author can draw for these characters. why should we ever be trying to empathize with a GROWN MAN FALLING IN A LOVE WITH A CHILD?

Extreme adult/minor relationship. Also the fact that the man is Native American that is portrayed as a pedophile.

It was a free book on audible so I didn’t really know anything when I started it at first I was sure that it wasn’t going to go where it went. apparently I naively thought a familial bond was what the relationship was and just became more and more shocked. Once I got about half way through it became very clear this grooming/p*do thing was what the author intended. I looked up the book because I genuinely thought I must be missing something as surely the book would eventually condemn the relationship. It look me a while to even find anyone saying anything about the ages and when I did most people said it it doesn’t shift and show how inappropriate, unethical, and frankly disgusting it is so I immediately returned it. Don’t be tricked by the star ratings on goodreads ect. ig this is a lesson to look up books before I read them

I didn’t have a full understanding of the content of the book before I started reading and likely would not have chosen this book if I had.

The writing is excellent and I was captivated and disturbed by the world Greenwood created. I enjoyed reading through different characters’ perspectives to get a full picture of the Wavy’s life but I was shocked by the direction the book took. I can understand Wavy’s motives given her traumatic upbringing and age, but Kellen’s actions are inexcusable.

I can’t in good conscience give this a high rating since the subject matter is disturbing and encourages the reader to sympathize with a pedophilic relationship.
