4.5

This book is beautifully written. However the subject matter is harrowing and I would recommend everyone check the CW before reading. 
I almost gave this 5 stars, but it felt a little overly complicated at the end, so 4.5. Otherwise, the thoughtful way that Chee brings Fee to life, with all of his trauma, complications and vulnerability is superb. Highly recommended.
