No character has a brain or makes any sense in here. It's all pure actions that dont follow any path or logic.

No. This book is crap. It tries to be profound or shocking but one does not earn profundity just by throwing a lot of weighty topics (abuse, incest, living in a basement for ten years) at a "plot" and then doing the Gone Girl sort of twist where I'm supposed to be shocked that NOTHING IS WHAT YOU THOUGHT WOOO JAZZ HANDS DUN DUN DUNNN. Nope. The characters are not empathetic even once you're supposedly given all the stories, and a father is abusive, but out of love, see? and massive brutal crimes are never brought to justice but LOOK OVER HERE IMAGINARY TWINKLY FIREFLIES. No. I should have picked something else, anything else, for my free Kindle first read for March. I hated this book. Noooo.
