This book was quite the wild ride! Deliver me is an absolutely unhinged story of a girl who just wants to be loved and to have her own family.
Dee-Dee works at the local meatpacking plant. She's trying to escape from her religious trauma and lives with her boyfriend, Daddy, who has a weird thing for exotic bugs. After a few miscarriages, Dee-Dee becomes pregnant and will do whatever is necessary to prepare for her baby. However, when her childhood bestie comes back into to town, memories come flooding back.
Deliver Me was a fast-paced story that was hard to put down. It's so well written that it sucks you into Dee-Dee's world straight away. I loved that the book would shift from past to present so you could see why Dee-Dee is the way she is.
I also loved the way Dee-Dee was written, even though what she does is questionable, I couldn't help but feel bad for her. She just wants to live her best life, and I had to keep reading to see if she succeeds; even if the odds look pretty slim, and problematic.
Overall this was an amazing dark and disturbing character driven story, and if you loved the movie Pearl, you're going to love Deliver Me.
A big thank you to Netgalley and Unnamed Press for the gifted copy. Deliver Me comes out on October 3.
