A review by queerbookworm
The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry

dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.25

I enjoyed it overall but there were some specific parts that were really hard to listen to. A good story if you want to listen to (or read but i listened) something incredibly distracting.
