The story in the novel is heartbreaking and overall what kept me reading. I would agree with a lot of the reviews that the perspective being from a child was off putting, I feel like the story would have felt more real and raw if it had at least switch perspectives between the mom and Jack.
Graphic: Kidnapping and Confinement
Moderate: Miscarriage, Emotional abuse, Child death, Rape, and Sexual assault
Minor: Blood, Suicide attempt, and Panic attacks/disorders
