Damage by Eve Ainsworth

2.0

Not to put too finer point on it, this novel barely scratches the surface of the complexities of this behaviour. It's also a little cliched. I thought that Skin Game (a memoir on self harm) and Red Tears (YA fiction) were better. However that's not so say that there isn't anything good about the book. The teenagers were realistically portrayed and the plot was well paced. I felt the story would have benefited from further character building and bringing the story further along the protagonist's path. I did like the inconclusive ending though. That was truest thing of all.
