Katya Apekina is a new author for me. This slow introduction to two sisters and their trauma was an unexpected read. The way Apekina builds up the story had me unsure how I felt about the story. However, the story picks up pace slightly, and all the details (mostly) come together in a neat little bow. The longer I think about this book, the more I realized I enjoyed it.
