This is not really a complete review but I want to warn other people interested in this book that’s there’s a very upsetting and disturbing storyline involving a disabled child and eventually violence against that child that felt wholly unnecessary in this book. I enjoyed parts of the narrative but not enough to make up for the ending and don’t recommend it.
