A review by patienceholmes
The Island of Lost Girls by Alex Marwood
Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.
There was some quite explicit verbal/emotional abuse of a child by their parent who was supposed to be presented as a sympathetic character and I just didn’t want to read about that character at all. It felt like the book was trying to gaslight me into thinking she was an ok parent
Graphic: Child abuse and Emotional abuse
Moderate: Misogyny, Sexism, Colonisation, and Classism
