I enjoyed this book a lot- I’m
going to be thinking about it for a while. I didn’t like the first chapter at all but I’m glad I saw it through. There were a few parts of the book I felt to be unnecessarily violent and graphic
such as the part where Anders is m*sturbating in the restaurant bathroom*
It wasn’t needed for me and left a very sour taste in my mouth. But I enjoyed that all of the characters made huge, life altering mistakes and the author wasn’t trying to convince you that what they did was ok because they are human, which made me
accept the mistakes and still love the characters because I came to that by myself. Overall a great read.
