Special thanks to the author, @algonquinyr & @netgalley for my advanced copy.

First just let me say WOOOOW!!!!! It was tough writing a review because this was such an amazing YA novel. Like almost to good not to be adult fiction. I loved the writing style and the many topic discussed throughout. Every character involved added depth to the story. I loved seeing things unfold from the perspective of both sisters.

I sympathized with all of the young women especially Zam and Cheta. The physical and verbal abuse Cheta endured from her mother was terrible. The mental abuse Zam endured trying to steer clear of both her mother and sister wasn’t any better. The environment they grew up in was so toxic and the favoritism shown to Zam over her sister by their mother caused tension between the two of them.

It was disheartening to see every female character have a bad relationship with their mother and weren’t treated any better by their fathers.

Although this was a bit of an emotional read the last 2-3 chapters was why I gave it a solid 5 stars. I won’t spoil it by saying to much but talk about a major twist I didn’t see coming. Everything flowed so perfectly I don’t think the author could’ve ended the novel any better.

So, I definitely recommend because I was left wanting more!!!!
