Wow. This book left me SHOOK.  In spite of how gut wrenching and disturbing it was, I couldn’t put it down. And now, I keep asking myself- can I love a book that is as dark and chilling as this one is? Especially one that is about motherhood? This not the kind of book I like to give 5 stars to. It’s not sweet and endearing. It doesn’t have the most beautifully poetic prose.  But man was it riveting.

Blythe. Oh how conflicted she made me feel! I couldn’t decide if she deserved a heaping portion of empathy or if I disliked her immensely. Was she telling me the truth? Or was her perception completely off? The author masterfully created the perfect unreliable narrator in Blythe which kept me guessing up until the very last sentence. And man, oh man. That last sentence!  This book will stick with me for long time.

Definitely heed the trigger warnings. This is not a book to go into blind.
