I have a love/hate relationship with books and with myself as a book addict. I have to have books, but I hate how critical I am, and how bad a bad book makes me feel 🙂 I just finished this book. I could not put it down. I am happy. This is a book worth..
Took me a while to decide what to write for a review. I love the narrator in this book and the story starts off very interesting. The relationship between them starts off sweet, almost father/daughter, then you start to wonder, then it takes a hard graphic turn towards pedophilia. I probably would’ve finished the story,..
Review from Holding Up the Universe →
the story was very enjoyable except for the foul language. I know that’s how kids talk today but I’m uncomfortable heart it
Review from All the Ugly and Wonderful Things →
A searing story with incredibly compelling characters that you care about. Not a slow spot through the whole thing. Also a really good look at how the systems meant to protect us sometimes do more harm than good.
Review from The Con Man’s Daughter →
I really enjoyed this book! It made me laugh, made me cry. mostly made me cry. But nonetheless very good! raw truth. It brought back bad memories of some of my own childhood, I think that’s why I related to it so well. beautifully told and to narrated. And written!

Yes, I liked it better than the original! That says a lot! I LOVED the original! I loved how each reader had a different, yet equally valid response. I didn’t relate to Liz’s divorce part of the story, but not everyone does. This book allowed me to realize I have my own story and that..
Review from Liv, Forever →
It definitely was not what I expected but I really enjoyed it! A good blend of the supernatural, mystery and thriller. The main character could be a bit annoying at times but that fit well with her age and added to her character development along with the other two main characters. I also enjoyed references..
haven’t enjoyed a book this much in a while. there was no acclimating, you were already in it from the first sentence.
Review from Salt to the Sea →
There was only a single character that I didn’t get attached to. I loved Florian, his role in the war was unique, not your average German solder.
