this book was short but for some reason it felt like it drew out so long… i picked it up because the summary was what i thought i was looking for but it was a little disappointing

for me, it didn’t even get good until page 160/195 and i was a little upset that it ended there because throughout all of it, i was bored. 

but i love the complicated relationship that he has with his father and his stepfather as someone who is sort of in that situation (my stepdad will always be my father no matter what).

and the cringe of Sugar calling Charlie “Bro” was almost too much to bear, but in the end this was a great story and definitely something different from anything else that i’ve read. 

i just wish he didn’t include the maggots, they will be in my nightmares for the rest of my life.
