IT WAS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO PUT THE BOOK DOWN!!!!

Like for real!! It’s been a while that a book had consumed me as much as this one did. I have no idea why I kept putting it off but a huge thank you to ChapterOne bookstores for this rec.

A funeral of a mysteriously dead person but her youngest sister believes otherwise because of a letter that is left behind.

A curse haunting the family for generations that can only be broken at the end of the world.

A hunt for the letters left behind with stories detailing the lives of their cursed ancestors.

There are several other mysteries to be discovered as we go on the journey with Deena and her companions as they set out to search for Mandy. A very beautifully written and highly required novel that dwells into the misogyny and suppression that women went through since the beginning of times and which continues to date, All the bad apples is a must read.

I am going to repeat it again, I WAS INCAPACITATED. I simply could not stop reading.… (more)
