A truly exceptional book, Anderson returns to what I appreciate the most about her writing--her characterization of a gripping character the reader longs for and her struggle to overcome. Not an easy novel to read, this book haunted me so to speak because of the mental breakdown you can see Lia experiencing. Told from Lia's perspective, you are left wondering if Lia is going to be able to pull herself out of the pit she has thrown herself in or be buried alive.
