Character
A very tough read, a story about Lynette who suffers from poverty with her mother and her mentally disabled brother in a developing town somewhere in Portland. How they're trying to catch up with the rapid urbanization of the town which gets harder due to their own financial predicament. Her mother's rage against the system, struggles of being a single mother for almost 30 years that caused her to fcked up their plans on getting hold of their property which leads Lynette to do something very outrageous (and stupid) for the sake of her family's especially her brother's wellbeing.
As the story progress, her story unraveled more through other characters that we finally learn about her whole backstory, of her struggling with mental disorders in the past that ruined her relationship and how it wrecked her and the people that she loved deeply.
I personally really enjoy the audiobook and devoured the whole 6 hours+ less than a day. Really enjoy her mother's perspective on the government, on the hypocrisy of the politicians. Spot on.
