Both books showcase the lives of a mother and daughter, while dealing with addiction, grief, and mental and physical health struggles. I would recommend this book to anyone who is bored with the books, they have read so far, this series is riveting, tragic and haunting.
To start both of these books have a plot so addicting it was hard to set the book down while I was reading it.
