Maybe it's me, maybe I missed something, maybe I gotta give it a reread but I feel like the childhood assault was placed in there randomly at the end. It didn't feel wrong, but it didn't feel right. Not like csa ever could, but there's a time and place, ideally, and this just didn't make as much sense narratively, especially that close to the end. I suppose one could argue real life is full of surprises and the book is supposed to depict that, but to that I say bullshit. Little moments here and there about his auntie, alright, but it's a very touchy subject and I don't think it got the respect and conversation it deserved. So, negative points.
