The story was good but the ending yanked it for me. Beware the cliffhanger. Perhaps don’t read unless you have #2 ready to go.
Very abrupt and unsatisfying ending.

I loved how this story was written from different perspectives throughout and the narrator was AMAZING at keeping characters straight during chapters. Loved this book!
The title describes it well! Life isn’t pretty for some people, and families are not cookie cutter. I binge listened in a couple days. Happy to have stumbled upon this book.
I liked the overall story but I too felt these girls should have stayed away from Cash Creek and the predators there. “I said” from the narrator was distracting. I love her book about the girls that was kidnapped. I will continue to be a fan.
This book tore at my heart strings. The author and narrator made me feel like I was right there. It was easy to picture the scene. I will not recommend this book to my mother-in- law, because of the language and some sex scenes. I still wanted to hear every word. Thank you Bryan Greenwood.
A poignant and well crafted story told by a group of displaced people in WWII. Heartbreaking and inspiring as a tale of desperate survival and struggle in the face of a terrible terrible war.
The way that Kim writes is like listening to poetry, so beautiful considering the sadness of the time that this story takes place in. The story line and narrator were on point and I’m looking forward to my next read!
Amanda & the girls are so strong! Amanda fought til the end, and is a wonderful mother, daughter, inspiring person.
I could not stop listening to this book. It was like a car wreck….you can’t look away! It was well written and very disturbing! I absolutely loved this!
This book keeps you on the hook to learn about Wavy’s story. Her life is in turmoil. Her Aunt is trying to help her and I will be honest I very much dislike the Aunt. Awesome storyline. Keeps you interested. I couldn’t stop listening. I wanted to know the end. Highly recommend!!!
