I don't think this was good, I think it was just shocking?

This made me laugh. It made me angry. It was gut wrenchingly real and portrayed guilt and addiction in a way that left me speechless. Twisty turny, gruesome, and so so heartbreaking, this book gets a solid 5 from me.

Never knew what was coming strong the corner. Tackles big issues seamlessly. Couple of surprises along the way. Lots of trigger warnings: sexual content, molestation, child porn and pedophilia, child abuse, and addiction.
