this book is good but in a disturbing way. i hated the way it felt like the Lisbon sisters were zoo animals in a tank and i was observing them from the perspective of the neighborhood boys who only saw them as creatures to be viewed and possessed. i also think it was an intentional device used by the author. would love to read an analysis of the whole thing to further unpack
