A book about a man who is never as handsome as he is when he's making fun of someone else. And the family that suffers for it. (The mom who dreams of murdering them all doesn't help either.)
Reading this is like having somebody grip you at the neck and force you to watch all the bad parts from your childhood that you deliberately buried somewhere deep away.
