Wow. From the beginning, very unexpected and pulled me right in. The way the author describes the environment and characters is so visceral. 

It's an intense book that probably isn't for everyone as it does include child abuse and mental health issues.

The first page is the best page. The rest of the book is completely unnecessary. You think it’s building up to the plot when in reality you’ve just wasted your time because the first page was everything you were waiting for. 80% of the book is just short meaningless statements. Don’t waste your time.

c'était vraiment sombre au début, mais ensuite cela vous a emmené dans un voyage qui a vraiment commenté l'impact du caractère des gens sur les autres
