Emma Reads Crime

After the death of her adoptive father, Sally literally puts him out with the rubbish. She doesn’t understand why everyone thinks that this is so strange. This is what her father had told her to do. This obviously gains a load of media attention and Sally starts to learn about the horror of her biological father.

If you liked Wednesday on Netflix then this is certainly a book for you. It is safe to say I have never read a book like this in my life. The story line of her past is horrific. The different time lines and perspectives make it a gripping read. Sally herself is extremely socially awkward and I enjoyed reading about her learning how to forge friendships and relationships with others.

Even though I loved this story, the ending left me feeling a bit high and dry. I heard that the American version of the book has an additional chapter to the UK copy. When I met Liz in July, she very kindly send me this American chapter and I think the UK version was missing this. If this chapter had been included, it would have been a 4.5/5 ⭐️ read from me.

If you like the sound of this, it is available on Amazon here.
