• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

It’s trauma porn desperately trying to be Come and See. Its Fine. The main theme of the book was touched on and the main allegory explained fairly early with little expanded upon. A tough read because 3/4 is just this poor kid slogging from one terrible situation to another
