TRIGGER WARNING: CHILD ABUSE // CSA
This was typical Sally Hepworth but not nearly as good as most of her books for me... it was also hard to listen to/read because it has lots of explicit depictions of child abuse and CSA. I liked this but not as much as I expected considering the author. It did have a fairly obvious twist and a very satisfying ending.
Is there anything you ARE good at? a little voice said. Not cleaning. Not sport. Not studies. You're not the most attractive, the most talented or the most helpful. What, exactly, is the point of you?
