I received an ARC of this book with thanks to BooksGoSocial via NetGalley

A story about two women, how their lives intertwine and how remarkably different their worlds are. The subject matters at the core of this book are both urgent and relevant. I was gripped by the story and read it quicker than I anticipated. However the writing wasn't exceptional. Brooks has created a great narrative with such potential but it is missing the expressive and gritty vocabulary that I crave to read. I wanted to feel a deeper connection to the characters and I wanted more depth in both the writing and the character development. I read another review that suggested this book has a very YA feel to it. And with that I entirely agree. It had potential to be something breathtaking and visceral but just fell short.
