5.0

I had NO idea what I was in for with this book. I bought it because it was 'local', set in Appalachia, and because the cover was beautiful. 

This book shattered me. It was so beautifully written. I immediately bought another book from the author because I need more. (Although I will be taking a break because my heart needs to recover)

Betty is pure art, and I already know it's one that will stick with me for a very long time. This goes on my 'all time favorites' list. 

A very strong trigger warning, though. This book has ALL the triggers.
