Gamut of emotions over this book...surprised, appalled, sad, mad...a little of everything. Basically two stories here. A woman has her world upended, how far will she go to get it back? Also a tale of social class, those who have and have not and how desperate money decisions can sometimes lead to surprising results. The characters all struggle with their own demons here, and I often wanted to strangle various characters at certain times, but in the end, there is always hope.
Thanks to #NetGalley and #RandomHouse for the ARC for review.
A couple of caveats here. There was a storyline between a 15 yo and a 23 yo that was very disturbing and that I felt was NOT handled appropriately.
Also, don’t expect many characters that you can like in this book. The majority are scheming, selfish, and greedy.
It was the writing itself and the flow of the narrative that I enjoyed the most here.
