This story. This story. How the hell do you describe it? We follow too many troubled souls as their pain interconnects. There is only one slightly likeable character and not much plot. But damn, this book was captivating. It was raw. It was messed up. By the middle of the book I was hoping nobody got a happy ending because it just wouldn't feel right. None of the characters deserved anything good. The ending delivered on that, albeit in a cheap way, but it still felt right. I know this isn't a positive sounding review but this story was far from positive and it deserves such. I actually did enjoy it but I don't know who I would recommend it to.
