The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry

BATB Score: 10/10 🎈

*reader discretion advised: 10/10 but not for everyone. esp not for the faint hearted; thriller, sick, psycho, twisted, gut-wrenching, perfection*

Best as: when a doctor, Dr. Lucinda Berry, trauma psychologist + researcher in childhood trauma, becomes an author in disturbing psychological thrillers; it’s really good!

Best for: anyone who is tired of self-help books

BATB lingering thought: why can’t we just read because it’s fun? why does every pastime activity has to be intellectual?

Best to: page-turner; reading for the sake of entertainment at its best - just like watching a Netflix movie, just one more chapter/episode, actually let me just finish the book/season in one binge-reading

Best quotes: under acknowledgements “I promise someday I will write a story with a happy ending. Just not yet.”
