Being a psychology student, it was interesting to see the right information about the anatomical brain structures, DNA and environment. I'd appreciate if antisocial personality disorder wouldn't be used interchangeably with psychopathy as both have many similarities but they aren't precisely the same thing / synonyns.
I wasn't bored with the main character's teenage stuff. But I definitely looked forward to Rosa's logic and her perspective and how she twists everything to suit her. But I understand that although the book is titled as MY sister Rosa, it is still about Che, as he's the narrator of his own story and how he deals with his psychopathic sister.
It was exhilarated by the end of this book and just couldn't keep the book down.

I really enjoyed this and it would have been 5 stars but I couldn't get over how absolutely useless the adults were. The plot was great, most of the characters were fine, the ending was very fitting, but I could not stand any of the adults.

“Killing things shouldn't make you happy, Rosa. That's why they're worried.”
This book gave me an infinite level of stress. I cannot get Rosa out of my head. Her way of thinking fascinates me but her creepiness scares the shit out of me at the same time. I guess I was not really ready to peep into a 10 years old's psychopath's head.
The book was more heavy than I assumed. Rosa is a ticking bomb,she lacks empathy and is fascinated by other people's pain.
Che diagnosed her as psychopath,tried to tell his parents about her sister but they never paid attention. I was mostly angry at the parents.They are terrible.
I felt bad for Che. He played the role of a parent to Rosa when it shouldn't be his work. She suffered the most for his
I also found the side characters full of diversity. Whereas some people complaint that it was forced,I had no feeling like that.
The only thing that bothered me is the insta-romance going on between Che and Sid. Che was totally obsessed with her. I know teen fall in love so quickly with much intensity, still at some part I was rolling eyes with annoyance about the romance.
And
Morever if want to read any YA thriller that will creep the hell out of you and will make you feel nausea time to time then yeah,you found your book.
