Generational trauma is a curse that plagues so many families.
Overall, well written and very accurate to how teenagers would speak. I am glad I read it though parts were hard to get through.

That said, everything that made this a classic is still there. It's better written than I expected it to be, though it does meander in the middle and could have been 100 pages shorter
