It pains me to review books like this for 2 reasons:
1- it didn't live up to my expectations and
2- there is a mega-twist a little over a 3rd of the way through that completely changes what the book is-- and how do I review that without major MAJOR spoilers??
Here's the thing: I LOVED the first 3rd of the book. It was intense and heartbreaking-- but mostly unputdownable. After that big twist though??? It took me FOREVER to finish this book. It dragged and dragged and the whole feel of the book changed. It almost felt like it was written by 2 different people because that's how different it all felt.
The other thing that I wasn't feeling: I think Tiffany King had an opportunity here to write a really powerful book, but she instead went for the mind-fuck. We all know I love a good mind-fuck, but I just didn't think it was necessary here. And it Just. Kept. Happening.
This author didn't just want to trick you once, she wanted to trick you a bunch of times and end it with that vague creepy feeling where you don't know what the heck is going on. Normally I like that, but with this subject?? I don't think it works. You can't play with child abuse like this. It's not dark and creepy, it's disgusting and worth serious attention.
This could've been a legit kidnapping/child abuse book that made IMPACT. Instead, I think it was cheapened with the multiple twists & gotchas.
OVERALL: I loved the beginning of the book, but it lost me after the twist. I thought such a serious subject should be taken seriously and not cheapened with shock-factor.
