Righ in the middle. Not bad, not great. Guessed the ending from very early on, but the journey wasn’t in vain just because I already knew.

I enjoyed it overall. It is dark and sad but Flynn writes well so it made it easier to listen to. It was my second book from her and while I did not enjoy the first book I read, I enjoyed this one enough that I will probably read from her again.

gwynnfox's review against another edition

Absolutely disgusted with how sexualized the 13 year old girls are. It's not like the narrator consistently speaks against this sexualization, she even takes part in it, when she speaks of her 13 year old sister's body, calling it perfect. There are times this is basically child porn.
