medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated

Focused around the tragic lives of three young girls this story is dark and not for the faint of heart.
I enjoyed how it started with us guessing who was telling the story. As the story progressed and the chapters started with “Annie” or “Hope” to tell us who was telling their story, I didn’t like how the author used “she” “her” “I” as I found it hard to keep track of who was speaking. Maybe we were supposed to be still guessing who’s point of view was who’s but I felt it took away from the story.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and was kept guessing.
