Publisher’s Summary
Reclusive Sally Diamond causes outrage by trying to incinerate her dead father. Now she’s the center of attention, not only from the hungry media and police detectives, but also a sinister voice from a past she does not remember. As she begins to discover the horrors of her early childhood, Sally steps into the world for the first time, making new friends, big decisions, and learning that people don’t always mean what they say.
But who is the man observing Sally from the other side of the world, and why does he call her Mary? And why does her new neighbor seem to be obsessed with her? Sally’s trust issues are about to be severely challenged in this “inventive, addictive, and bold” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) thriller.

My Review
Sally Diamond was undeniably peculiar, especially when the book opens with the line, “I put him with the bins and burned him with the rest of the garbage.” I mean, excuse me, what… say that again?
After the initial shock of Sally actually disposing of her father with the garbage settled, I found myself eagerly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Surprisingly, Sally turned out to be alright. I enjoyed uncovering the reasons behind Sally’s quirks and learning how a past she couldn’t remember had shaped her into the person she is today. When the press discovers the truth about “Sally Diamond,” that’s when the story really takes off, and you start connecting the dots between the characters.
This book was fantastic. The characters were beautifully developed, and the story unfolded perfectly.
