Review from All the Ugly and Wonderful Things →
You can say it’s art, but it’s actually just gross. Honestly, why on earth would someone be compelled to write this sort of content with people of those ages? I stopped reading about 1/4 of the way through. Initially I ignored the red flags, thinking that it was a me/society issue. But then I got..
Unconventional story with accurate portrayal of harsh life circumstances make this novel a must. A reality check for those who were raised in safety and comfort, but could be triggering to those who are not ready to face those demons. The author was brave to tackle the content and publish it.

I just could find this book enjoyable in any regard. Disturbing young girl’s sexual interactions with an adult man. The story was less than decent. Can not recommend.
These characters will stick with you. Highly recommend this book. Fantastic story, and boy does it pull out your heartstrings.

Review from Beyond the Bright Sea →
A must read. I read it in my backyard by the sea. I didn’t want the story to end. The author’s note at the end was informative, entertaining and moving. Treat yourself to the best book of summer!
There’s a lot about this story that leaves me with conflicted feelings, but following these characters through years of hardship and development felt like time well spent. The author has a way of making complex characters both unforgivable and redeeming. A great performance by the narrator.
I thought this story was beautiful and eye opening to what people and kids can go through and feel when their life gets flipped upside down. Nothing will ever be the same, sometimes things feel like you will always be in a hole, and that’s ok. There will still be moments of happiness and joy,..
