This book is brilliant, but if you aren't prepared for an unflinching story of a hard life of a girl who has been plagued by SV her whole life, I'd recommended not reading it until you are.

It was confusing at points, random flashbacks without warning causing me to have to reread paragraphs. It was good though. I really like Alex and Darlington.
