A review by dmackreads
The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry

dark emotional sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

5.0

I understand being empathetic to trauma and wanting to give someone a chance that’s never had one but at a certain point there is NO FIXING CRAZY. I would’ve punted that kid like a fucking football, there’s no way in hell I would’ve ever signed them adoption papers, and as far as ChRiStoPhEr, I would have NEVER forgiven him and I do not CARE if that’s an unpopular opinion. DIVORCE the second I got my mental health under control. And for another thing, I actually agree with Greg :) 

This book was unreal. It made me angry and sad, I actually shed a couple tears. I almost gave it a low rating because I hated some of the people so much and the story was horrific but I chose not to because I binge-read it in a day and was just thoroughly consumed.
