Well that was CW:(view spoiler)[bloody murder scenes, suicide, death of loved ones, drug and alcohol addiction/over use, child neglect (hide spoiler)]
Well that was simply phenomenal!
Front and centre of this wonderfully written story is 13 year old self proclaimed outlaw, Duchess Day Radley. If there is ever a character that you want to hold up as a beacon of strength, grit, determination, and love, then look no further than Duchess. Her ability to exist so fiercely in the crappy world she has been given actually moved me. She and her younger brother are surrounded by a stellar cast of 'found family' members. The story itself was brilliantly and intricately plotted with tension running throughout the whole novel as Duchess reels in the aftermath of a shocking crime. I think this may well end up being one of my favourites for 2021!...more

I felt present in every moment: the terror, the grief, the hope, and the healing. Edward's journey will stay with me for a very long time. I'll be hugging my loved ones extra tightly tonight....more
