I was excited to read this book, until I began. The alternating point of view chapters were tedious. I found Sarah to be completely unlikeable. I had no compassion or feeling for the woman at all, which makes it hard to get into a book where she is the main character. I found Charlie's speech annoying. I wish more focus had been on Little Bee and her journey; or on Andrew and his illness. I did not care about the immoral Sarah's choices.

Jack is amazing, as is his mother. This story was different, but likeable. A different kind of read.

At first, I had a hard time getting into this book. The graphic details were too much. I never saw the word vulva and other female anatomy parts in print so repeatedly. As I read, I became deeply involved in Connie's story. I was anxious to learn if her mother, Sybil, was indeed guilty.This book was well written. I really enjoyed it.
