This is an incredibly difficult subject matter and absolutely is not for everyone. It is hard to describe why this story is good without giving away major spoiler but I find myself trying. It is a necessary story to help understand the levels of effects on a wider family when a member is a paedophile. It’s incredibly difficult to see things from Adrianne’s POV for much of this book but the author does well developing her feelings and thought processes. This is a sad, difficult book which I’m not sure I’d want to read again.
