Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

When starting the book I expected it to be pretty straightforward, straight to the point, inner thoughts of a character. It was so much more than that, reading from the perspective of an abused boy who has to live with his abusive dad, being the target of constant physical and verbal abuse, he plots many ways to kill his dad, which one will be the last way? Throughout reading, the character's journey and attempts get more and more personal, more detailed and involved. It was pretty repetitive and it had me going "is this gonna be the one? When's it gonna happen?" Which got annoying at some point. But overall this is a suspenseful short and quick read, not light at all with and ending and plot that keeps you guessing like no other. Definitely a read that won't be forgotten quickly

Definitely check the trigger warnings and topics/themes this one covers as it can be triggering to some readers
