That was very shocking. I did not expect the ending and am rather gobsmacked and left in state of stress.

The first part was a bit slow at times but I’m glad I read it and I think it would be really interesting to go back and spot all the clues. Some of the writing is kind of open to interpretation of what it means - very metaphorical. Scarring read. At points quite hard to read.

It was really good. The ending was very unexpected, and I say that as someone who is rarely surprised. A well written coming of age novel.

The book was interesting and exciting. There were a handful times I was bored but the ending blew my mind. I retread the book a couple of time just to find small hints I missed about the plot twist. It portrays racism, classism, greed for money and an overall shitty family
