I absolutely devoured this (iykyk)!! The stories of these women were absolutely heartbreaking and I love that this is not a story of love, but of revenge. I love books with female rage, and this one is jam packed with it! It is beautifully written and Rae Knowles does an amazing job of creating complex characters in such a short novel.
I hate Lily with a burning passion. But she is written so gosh darn well that my emotions towards her are only heightened! The relationship between her and Jaq was both sweet and maddening, and although I wish the story had ended differently, it was just as shocking and emotionally charged as the rest of the book!
This book’s plot is incredible. It is a story of sisterhood, freedom and, most importantly, vengeance, and I loved the subtle humour throughout. This book is not for the weak of heart, but I would absolutely recommend giving this quick but powerful read a go.
