This was such a hard read - you see what‘s happening to the daughter & you just want to stop it & protect her, and you see the mothers side & she‘s just so oblivious to it (until she realises & then she helps the best way she knows how - with some regrets in hindsight). The boys should have been held accountable, things could have been handled differently & this book shines a light to that. Why is it the women/girls always have to take the blame?

I‘ve had this checked out from the library for far too long - finally getting to it. Think it‘s going to be a tough read.
