Thank you Penguin Random House Audio for the complimentary audiobook.

There is a wild, unbelievable connection between characters, especially in a city like Philadelphia with a population of 1.5 mil, and Alix did something pretty horrific as mother that was hard to believe as a reader and then essentially glossed over.
