A gripping and horrific story of how childhood alienation can be.... alienating. Not for the faint of heart, but I find it near perfect for what it's trying to do - the first person narrative is excellent at slowly revealing the narrator's genuinely shitty situation, and providing a look into her mind as she slides further and further away from social acceptance.
