Maybe not the most exciting plot for most but hit me like a ton of bricks.
An exploration of generational trauma like no other.

This one was hard to put down...very gripping; my heart sank with every wrong turn Helen took.

I bought this at a used book fair after having enjoyed The Lovely Bones. I was very disappointed and had a difficult time even finishing it. Such a disturbing subject.

Started of well in the beginning, but got too long winded in the end. Was a struggle to finish, but did it anyway.

Not the best writing and quite disturbing, however I found myself continuously wondering what the next chapter would bring. I thought the characters were fairly well-developed. I wouldn't be surprised if the happenings in the book have actually taken place in the real world.

Jätän kesken sivulla 72, kun päähenkilö paria tuntia äitinsä murhaamisen jälkeen (minkä tiesin olevan pointti tässä kirjassa ja mikä jollain tavalla kiinnostikin mua) menee panemaan SEN PARHAAN KAVERIN POIKAA (joka on 30 v mut silti mitä hittoa en vaa pääse yli tästä). Tällä kertaa ois voinu luottaa goodreadsin arvosteluihin enemmän :)))
