Read 2 times. Last read September 6, 2019 to September 7, 2019.

This was a very disturbing book for me. One that I probably won't forget for awhile.

Petra I liked this one, too. Glad you enjoyed it, Loretta.

It really disturbed me though Petra and not in a good way.


Petra I think it was meant to? The idea of deciding between Faith & Mercy is disturbing. It was a thought provoking story.

Laura I remember now, watching the movie because Adam Driver was in it. The details are vague though. I only remember it being a slow burner with a long running time and feeling very sad at the end. It's so strange. I pretty much always like a book more than the movie, but didn't know it was based on a book. I have to get a copy and read.

I watched the movie after reading the book Laura and I can honestly say that the movie was just as powerful as the book.
