The story itself is a distorted fever dream of abuse and misery. It's certainly not enjoyable to read. Could be classed as tragedy porn if not for the disjointed writing taking away any air of sensationalism. I'm also not sure how I felt about the depiction of the brother's brain injury and disability. The character of the brother never really seemed to have any agency or presence outside of his impact on the main characters life (though that could be true of any presence in this book - the focus is very much on the single titular Girl), and I would be interested in how disabled folks feel about this book given how much of a key point disability and illness is in it.
