Thank you to Netgalley for the Earc in exchange for an honest review.
This is an absolutely heartbreaking read and one that I think that more people need to read (although please look up trigger warning first). It depicts the horrifying abuse that Bekhal faced at the hands of her own father and the murder of her sister in 2006 who was killed simply for loving a man that her family didn't approve of. It was not an easy read but it's not a book that should be an easy read as what Bekhal and Banza went through wasn't easy.
