Started off good, I liked the unconventional writing but then there were too many unnecessary character POV and it jumbled the story

Thank you Netgalley and Henry Holt & Company for my gifted copy.

However this book wasn't for me. It dealt with a lot of dark topics that I didn't really care to read about. It was hard to read and felt very depressing. The story was dark and talked about things like kidnapping, drug abuse, physical abuse, rape, miscarriages, abduction, imprisonment, deaths etc.

I felt like this story was a little all over the place and as someone who has ADHD it was a little hard for me to follow.

I can see someone who enjoys true crime liking this book though. I'm not one of those.

So interesting and innovative. I had a hard time following some of the later sections of the book.

This book is beautifully written, but the plot is hard to follow.

I received an ARC of this book from a Goodreads giveaway.

This came close to a DNF. The idea of this story sounds interesting, but there was a lot of jumping around between narratives. It could get a bit confusing. I felt like it needed just a bit more.

i could not keep up with the writing style and i just could not get into a rhythm of reading with this novel. i would pick it up and then not read for days because it was hard to follow along and hard to get hooked
