While I couldn’t actually do that (this is not a choose-your-adventure-book) Amy’s parents did that very thing and it was spectacular.
I wanted to reach into the pages to shake someone, while almost equally powerful was the desire to offer comfort, promise understanding and open-mindedness and just to get to the bottom of it. Her father incarcerated and her maternal parental unit unaccounted for, it is easy to be empathetic….up to a point but the level-constant layering of lies- becomes incomprehensible.
The tug was inexplicable, yet unavoidable-I just knew that there had to be something deep driving the deceit. The reader shouldn’t care about her story or become quickly invested, but I was intrigued. Sonny is a liar and a relatively unlikable character.
