I have to admit that I really struggled to relate to the main character, Piper, in this novel. She seems spoiled and a little delusional, creating a prison reading list and a website support page. It all seemed a bit ridiculous. She is outraged by th ...more

Let me start by saying that I really wanted to like this book. I really did. But in the end I was left disappointed.
I'll start with the things I liked. I loved that Handful's story reminded me of the likes of Zora Neale Hurston's colorful tales. Han

I have to say that reading this book made me think of all the sentimental, emotional and extremely loneliness of becoming an adult. Sometimes Keegan's stories are nauseously hopeful, others she seems sad and wise beyond her years. The one thing that ...more

“That’s why I started writing this story. Those things were just so heavy. It was impossible to carry around all by myself, my real father, Ray’s abuse, your death, so I took them and wrote them down. I edited them and changed the words around, shaping them into something whole. And then I printed them out onto a page, closed the book, and put it on a shelf. And if someone else read my words, then it meant that I wasn’t alone.”
Aimee Hardy

“Mama always told me that secrets come out after sundown. She said that when the darkness of night crept into the corners of my room oily shadows would unfurl themselves from under my bed, while the crows sleeping in the tree outside my window would flutter to the pane’s sharp edge to tap at the cracks in the casement, and the monster in my closet would sigh, opening its eyes before it scratched at the closet door. I’d only have to be quiet and listen.”
