A very good book that was very tough to read, it should almost come with a trigger warning for abuse. The summary hints at it, but what is happening to the girls and how it affects them is described so well and explicitly, it is heartbreaking. Read it in a couple sittings and could be an even quicker read, but I needed to take breaks. Definitely one of the most heartbreaking and gut-wrenching books I've ever read, second only to perhaps Beartown.
