I hated absolutely every minute of this book. While the form and prose was beautiful the content was utterly diabolical and seemed to only serve to cause pain. I would recommend reading Lanny if you want similar form but a much better story or watching I may destroy you for similar themes explored in a much more sensitive nuanced way. I learned nothing and feel aweful. I wish I had never read this book
