Jar of Hearts

TW: Rape, child death

WHAT DID I JUST READ?!
This was a rough read. Full of varying degrees of terrible people. It's still a damn good story though. Hillier won a Thrillerfest award for this and I can see why. I enjoyed how fast paced this was. We went from court room, prison, and release before reaching the 30% mark. I constantly was asking myself, ‘Where can it go from here?'

I think her level of writing is about where I can draw the line with explanations of terrible things human beings can do to one another. I applaud the fact that I am equally disgusted by these characters and so impressed by the way she crafted this story.

I kept on thinking that we already knew the majority of where Geo's guilt came from. THAT REVEAL. FUCKED. ME. UP.
