The 1970s were not a place for an unwed teen mother. In this story, we follow our main character as she is taken to a home for unwed mothers to have their babies and then return to her normal life. At this home, she meets a group of girls who support her to get through this tough time. One day, a bookmobile comes by, and the girls are allowed to check out books, but the book Fern checks out is not just any book. It could hold the key to each of these girls getting their hearts' desires.
This book was done so well, and the elements that were meant to creep you out hit me perfectly. I am not normally a horror person, but I enjoy this kind of horror. I also appreciated that the author didn't lean towards the misogynistic tone that this book could have taken. If you have read Hendrix in the past and enjoyed it, then this is a book you will enjoy.
