Lost in the Moment and Found (Wayward Children, #8)

I always love this series, but this was a rough one to get through at times. Not because it’s bad, but because the topics are really heavy.
The story begins with Antsy witnessing the death of her father, and then deals with grooming and gaslighting. While she runs away (into another world of course) before anything serious can happen, it’s still disturbing to read. But I also think this is an important story to tell and I thought it was handled with the care it deserves. The author has been candid about her own experience with grooming and child sex abuse and it’s clear this was a story that meant a lot to her.
While this is a fantastical story with doors to other worlds, it’s really about how abuse and trauma can force kids to grow up long before they are ready and steals their childhood from them. It’s a short book but it packs a punch. I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher, all opinions are my own.

I adored this one that Tor sent me too, I think I have reviewed most of the series now but this one; something about it just hit me and the writing I found so beautiful and how the plot evolved throughout the book was phenomenal I can't believe how much it hit me. Absolutely superb
