The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum

challenging dark sad medium-paced

4.5

This was a deeply very disturbing book. I’ve never had to walk away from a book because it was too intense before, but I have now. I don’t even know how to rate it. And when I didn’t think it could get worse, it did. Please please check trigger warnings before reading. And then its even made much worse when you realize this actually happened to a poor little girl named Sylvia Likens. Although the writing was good, I kinda wish I’d never read this.
