Uuuuuuggggghhhhhh
Oppressive
Disturbing
Literary
I don't know how to describe this book, but it made me sick to my stomach. It's not gross. It's sad. It's upsetting. There's abuse. So much abuse.
I don't know why this is described as “fantasy,” because there's nothing particularly fantastic about it that I can see.
Ugh.
I want to talk to someone about this.
These books are fun reads, but the constant retconning and character inconsistencies are frustrating.
Example: early in this book Perry says she and Nick should tell the twins the truth about things, but at no point do they even attempt to sit down and explain things. And, in fact, she starts acting like she's hiding things. There's even reason to believe she lies to Sophie.
