Some protagonists are the star of their own story more than others, if you know what I mean. Sometimes you’ve got a story you need to find the courage to tell. It might not look hard, not yet, but it’s very nearly the hardest thing of all. That’s the first hard thing I’m telling you. I’ve learned that some things are almost impossible to talk about because they’re things no one wants to know. I should have guessed what had happened to Suki. I should have guessed the parts of the story that weren’t about me. This is a comprehensive review addressed to adult readers wondering about the content of this book. Maybe she’s been quiet about the wrong things. Then Suki tries to kill herself, and Della’s world turns so far upside down, it feels like it’s shaking her by the ankles. But who has been protecting Suki? Della might get told off for swearing at school, but she has always known how to keep quiet where it counts.
Suki is Della’s own wolf - her protector. When that same boyfriend did something so awful they had to run fast, Della had Suki. When their mom’s boyfriend took them in, Della had Suki. Ten-tear-old Della has always had her older sister, Suki: When their mom went to prison, Della had Suki. I received a free copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
