While the subject matter is dark and hard to digest, this book is incredibly enjoyable. The difficult content is handled very tastfully. This is a fast-paced story written from different perspectives told through two different timelines. Lucinda Berry is a fantastic writer who does an excellent job of developing her characters in a way that keeps the reader on edge, wanting to know what they will do next. If you are looking for a book to hook you and keep you enthralled through the entire journey, this is definitely for you!
