Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neill

5.0

So I think I'm a little bit in love with Heather O'Neill, the author of this remarkable book.

The perspective of the 11-, then 12-, then 13-year old protagonist is so true to how I remember understanding the world at that age (although I'm fortunate to have had very different experiences to Baby). Little phrases jump out at you every couple of pages and just seem to stick in your throat or your heart.
