Annie (who gets her name changed to Milly) is the main character. She turns her mom (who's a serial killer of children) in & is put in foster care at 15. She was groomed, abused, & a witness/helper to her mom's child killings. But, was she a participant or not? Milly is put with a foster family (Mike, Sas, & Phoebe) to live with until her she has to testify at her mother's trial. The foster family is as dysfunctional as Milly. A drug hazed mom, the counselor husband, & the bitter vicious daughter. Typical story of bullying and insinuating yourself into a family. The 1st person POV of Milly talking in her head to her mom was hard to follow because it blended into other sentences with other characters. Milly wants to be good. but is she really bad is the focal point of cat and mouse. A convoluted mess and I'm not sure why there are such high ratings
