2.0

I cannot go on with this book--normally I can handle most things that warrant trigger warnings, but I can't deal with all this sexual abuse. I love the father, except for how he's oblivious to the abuse in his own home, and Betty is a delight; seeing the world through her eyes means you can see the things she can't, though she grows quite astute.

And so I actually rate a DNF 2 stars, because I think this is a good book, but it is not for me at this time (and likely ever). Check the warnings before starting this (I didn't). I am quitting at 39%, the mom is describing something so deeply deeply upsetting that literally in the middle of her story I was like "I do not have to read things I don't want to read."

I just flagged this with content warnings and realized just how many more there are--this book is a walking trigger warning. Racism, physical violence, suicide attempt, child abuse...

The fastest 5 star review I’ve given all year. This book is devastating and beautiful, and I feel like I’m actually a different person after reading it. But please for the love of god read the trigger warnings.
