A rape is the driver of the plot, so be warned about that before you open this book :/

This was a very strange book, and kind of uneven. There were parts that I liked, parts that I didn't like, and parts that were just gross. Yet I kept turning the page... I feel like a bunch could have been cut from the novel and it would have been just as good. There were about 4 or 5 places where it could have ended. The real beginning of the story was about 80 pages in... it was just strange. I liked it okay though.

There are a lot of layers here and I don't know that for me they all fell together as nicely as I wanted. I also could have seen this being a bit longer to add some more depth to some of the stories.
