3.0

This book is going to live rent free in my head I think. What a dark look into the head of a truly disturbed and unlikable main character. The lack of self awareness or remorse is a really interesting to explore from a first person perspective. It also explores the relationship between a parent and child and how hard it is to let them deal with the consequences of their actions.
