emotional sad medium-paced

5.0

Absolutely devastating. The amount of times my mouth hung open from shock or I gestured choking someone out because of frustration was too high to count. I read this at an interesting time since I’m currently taking juvenile law and have learned a lot about the rights of children. I wouldn’t suggest this book to everyone, but I will be keeping it in my collection for those who think they can handle the subject matter.

majestictrilobite's review

While the story had the potential to be really interesting, the narrative style was dry and deadpan and ultimately failed to keep me engaged.
