Hmmmm … The Favorite Girl. I had been seeing this floating around social media, folks saying how dark it was, how good. I just had to give it a try.
Okay … yeah, this is pretty dark. I don’t have triggers, so
I didn’t find this one too disturbing, but … yeah, I can see where some folks
might not be able to stomach this one. The one thing that I feel the author
should do is include her trigger warnings in the front of the book and not just
on her web site. That’s really my only criticism.
Demi – I like the character Demi. Even though she wanted to
give up, she did not. She knew, deep down, there had to be a way out of her
situation. She just had to hold onto that hope and her inner strength.
I actually enjoyed the darkness of this one, sometimes
thinking – well, that’s creepy. The ending though? That I certainly did not see
happening.
If you like deeply disturbing, darker-than-most reads, give
this one a try.
The trigger warnings include – sensory deprivation,
self-harm, woman degradation, human trafficking, medical experiments, bone
garden, cages, violence, graphic scenes, sexual assault, parent abandonment.
