Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue

3.0

Well, I was not expecting that.

I put this book down for a long time because I disliked the protagonist, and didn't like where I thought the story was going. Now that it's over, I think I imagined worse but also better than how it actually ended. The story and characters help buffer the reader from what happens, but it was still harsher than what I typically choose.
