 Synopsis 
 A year ago, Callie was found in an abandoned apartment with the words "I killed him" scrawled on the walls around her. She can't remember why she wrote them. She can't remember anything about the 36 hours leading up to when she was found, but ever since then the words keep pouring out of her, painful and incessant. The words and her graphomania may be the key to unlocking her past and finding the 12-year-old who disappeared along with her father. Or they might be proof that she's just as insane as her mother who's already in a mental health facility. 
 Thoughts 
 If I had to describe this book with one word, it would be complicated. The characters, the relationships, the story. They're all just so complicated. Callie is a character who has been through a lot in her sixteen years. Her mother was her age when she gave birth to Callie. She grew up seeing her mother abused by her reverend father while the congregation of Church of Holy Promise adored him. Now, living with a foster family, she doesn't necessarily make the best decisions, but she tries. This book took me awhile to get into. The words that Callie write are jarringly intersperse throughout the narrative, showing just how much of a part of Callie they are. The relationships in this story will definitely not be everyone's cup of tea (warning: love triangles ahead). The mystery and the way that it unfolds is compelling, but also a bit slow. Once the ball starts rolling towards the end of the book, it was difficult to put it down and there were definitely some "Oh snap!" moments. 
 A grittier YA novel for reasons of drug use, sex, and topics of sexual abuse/pedophilia. 
 Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
