So much of this story was absolutely disgusting. I can’t understand how people enjoyed it.

I was given this title as a recommendation and I truly enjoyed this book. I listened to it straight through for two days. Thank you for this story. I really loved it.
The narrator for this reads well but sounds like she plugged her nose. The storyline is not varied much from connecting “fat” with misery because of misogyny but it doesn’t cover much else and definitely isn’t intersectional. It was depressing, boring, bitter, lost.
The is a great one

Kept me on my toes, I get Emily problems but come on, not the baby or Maddie or Steve fault! I hope book 7 also a good one
It was good until a kid gave an old man a hand job.. I’m good. Barf.
Review from All the Ugly and Wonderful Things →
Pedophile and little girl are main characters. Only even giving this words because I have to in order to place 1 star.
This book is literally a grooming story between an 8 year old girl and a 24 year old man. They basically have sex when she is 13 and he is almost 30. They act like everyone is trying to keep them apart. They are not soulmates, she is a child and he is a predator…
What an incredible story. some parts were definitely difficult to learn to but Bryn Greenwood did a masterful job with character development.
Couldn’t even finish… the fact that the love interest is a grown man to a child is just gross. Listening to the narrator talk about a grown man sneaking into a child’s room at night drunk, and then sleeping in the bed of that child is beyond disturbing. With or without ill intentions its still..
This story is sad, and beautiful and tragic. I’ve read so many reviews about how this book is disgusting because it “promotes pedophillia”, but I don’t really see it that way. The character of Kellan isn’t into Wavy BECAUSE she is a little girl, but IN SPITE of that. And while I disagree with him..
I lost count how many times I cried listening to this book. No other book has touched me like this one, these girls, all of them are so strong to have endured such horrific years with their captor. I’m having a hard time saying how I feel about it. It’s tough to put into words…
