If you've ever been a Weird Little Girl, this one's for you, but it's gonna be uncomfortable. My brother lent me the book and told me it was the most disturbing thing he'd ever read (more so than Let the Right One In, which I disagree with), so when I started finding the main characters wildly relatable, I got concerned. I kept waiting to STOP finding the main characters wildly relatable. It didn't happen. Teresa in particular spoke to me in a way that will stick with me for a long time.
