The stream-of-consciousness writing style, along with the changes in narrators, made this book a bit challenging to read. However, it was well worth the effort. Although the story is horrific and heartbreaking in so many ways, there is so much love and tenderness in it as well. It may take me a little while to feel ready to move on to my next book. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC for review.

I received an advance readers copy in exchange for an honest review

Lushly written, very dark but always a pleasure. If you can write a book about kidnapping, rape, and suffering, but still make it comic and (oddly enough) affirming, you’re a genius and I look forward to your next effort
