SAFE is about Jenny a little girl kidnapped 12 years ago that suddenly returns home, or so I thought!!!
I started this book thinking I knew what was going to happen, that it was predictable but I couldn’t have been more wrong. This story took it so much further than I was thinking and I am impressed.
The writing style was well paced, fun, and exciting. The characters were flawed and cringe worthy, especially Jenny and Ben. These kids endured so much pain that the mother in me felt like screaming at the book. That visceral reaction always means I am going to love a book. Sometimes its painful getting there but if words on a page can make me feel all that… then job well done!
I have to warn you that this book is not for everyone!. There are triggers, and a lot of them: drugs, sexual abuse, kidnapping, and physical abuse being most prominent.
Thank you to my friend @2babesandabookshelf for sharing this ARC with me! Thank you @dutton and @skbarnett for such a though provoking novel that blew my mind!
