I enjoyed this book. I read it very quickly, I couldn't put it down. Easy read but emotionally powerful. I had no idea what was going to happen next and the intensity and rage was passed on to me as the reader through the thoughts of the mother. If you are looking for a page turner that will captivate you this is it.

A Good Story

I enjoyed the story, but it was written in a way that
suggested there was a narrator when the story should be experienced through the characters' points of view and through dialogue. Show, don't tell is one of the golden rules.

Story had good bones. Was too repetitive on some points. Didn't warm up to any characters. I seemed irritated reading the book. Not sure why.
