Saving Noah by Lucinda Berry
I don't feel like giving this book a star rating. It was interesting enough that I read it the whole way through, but I'm unsure of it's premise in reality. I'm not educated enough on child offenders or the psychology of CSA to say how accurate those details are.
I do appreciate the book delving into the topic of pro-choice suicide. I think that even within mental-health discussions it's incredibly taboo to mention that some people are chronically suicidal. I'm not sure that this is the best intro to that topic, given why the characters discuss it, but it makes sense for this story, and I imagine that having an already controversial topic makes it easier to add on more upsetting themes.
