The Death of Bees by Lisa O'Donnell

4.0

Definitely not a book for everyone as this was not exactly a happy story. It was grim and sad, and full of swearing, drugs and teenage sex (and teenage girls doing it with older married men). It deals with child neglect and abuse and as such was very thought provoking. However, the three main characters who tell the story made this book worth reading it. They're interesting, each of their lives is pretty different and unique, and they're very realistic. The dark humor lightened it up a bit, and it was an easy read.
