You follow 3 sisters as they are abused at home, run away, and are abused by strangers, then start a new life in a new city. It's a book that requires you to check the trigger warnings first but it's such a good read. The writing is engaging and the story is paced beautifully. One of my favorite Chevy books for sure. It doesn't have a traditional Chevy twist but I don't think it needed it, the story is the story.
Its a challenging reread because I found myself waiting for the rougher parts and putting the book down to avoid them a little longer but the story still pulled me in and I read the entire thing in about 4 sittings. It was a great way to finish out January 2024.
