Flinging It by G Benson
4.0
Kudos to G. Benson for taking on such an unpalatable but all too common situation.
While the topic is a tough one I think G. Benson handles it well. We get a good sense of why each character allows themselves to engage in behavior they find reprehensible and what the consequences of that behavior are for themselves and those around them.
I enjoyed the gradual character growth that happened in fits and starts and how sometimes the characters lost some ground that they had gained.
The book is peopled with a good set of secondary characters who help illustrate the pressures the main characters face as well as offer some support. I appreciated the diversity in race and sexual identity of the different characters as well.
This might be a once and done book for me but I wouldn't be surprised if life points me in its direction again. I am glad I read it.
