I enjoyed the writing - the author has a way with adjectives and descriptions - but the narrative was choppy and left a lot of what I felt was important information out. This information seemed to have been omitted to give the reader to feel more for the victims rather than the dad but I would have liked to have both sides of the story or at least a little more background on everyone.
This book was very depressing, though. It's from the POV of a notorious pedophile's daughter. We don't get the full story of what happened before the narrative but you do learn a bit about how he lured his victims through the narrator's own memories/flashbacks. Andy, another victim and the narrator's best friend/boyfriend, lived in the same complex though we don't learn that much about him. The arresting officer also lives in the same complex. The town much be very, very small or this is an unrealistic coincidence. An actual town is never mentioned.
I wouldn't recommend this book, but I felt that the writing was enough to keep me interested in a type of book/subject matter I have both very little experience and interest in.
