This book was a beautiful read, the use of language and dialect puts you right alongside the characters and forms a gorgeous imagery of the setting. It’s a sad novel and full of hardships faced while growing up, but it covers all the topics so beautifully.
Graphic: Alcoholism and Rape
Moderate: Homophobia and Violence
