This book was hyped as being about the 80s satanic panic wave that griped the country; it really was a story about the protagonist's grief, and her parents. Side rant: if you write a book set in the past, authenticity language/words is important. No one in the US was saying ginger for a redhead.

3.5 stars. This was a fun quick read, but ultimately, I probably won't remember the plot by tomorrow (but thats more my ADHD than the story itsself)

I loved the fact that it was based off the Satanic Panic of the 80s, I wish it would have more of those elements to it. Overall, I think had this book been a little longer so more elements could be flushed out, this could have easily been a 4-4.5 read for me.
