Uh this book was wild from start to finish like I really thought it was gonna be some light hearted funny read but boy was I in for a surprise...

TW: Child abuse, violence, animal abuse

I mean it’s based on real life so like I REALLY HOPE SHE IS GOING TO THERAPY TO UNPACK ALL THAT CHILDHOOD TRAUMA!!!

Also I think she should have called childline or SOMETHING so her baby bro could have had like a better life and poor Bonny was left to do all that stuff when she’s a child?

Simon just ran off? Good for him but like??? Idek what kind of messed up dysfunctional family they were but whew I am glad she managed to get out BUT LIKE I HOPE SHE ACTUALLY GOT THERAPY TO DEAL WITH IT ALL and like it doesn’t explore enough about immigrant trauma or the racism experience or anything like that but this girl deal with A Lot.

I just??? What did I just read??? Idek man this was one messed up story like so disturbing poor girl got bullied and had to deal with her messed up family at home and then actually work in the takeaway and Idek

No one should suffer like that and yet there are so many kids in abusivo households
