Ostensibly a quick read, this April #BOTM pick took me longer to get through than I expected. It‘s a dark book— it reminded me a bit of SHARP OBJECTS but without the balance & even more emphasis on addiction, abuse & an awkwardly inserted romantic plot. If I was from NE/SD, I‘m not sure I would enjoy this portrayal either… Providence‘s return to join the search for her mother did capture my interest but the conclusion wasn‘t satisfying to me.
