The only redeeming thing is that it's kinda funny - like, if you put the child abuse to the side, the actual descriptions and the way the dialogue is written made some sections really funny to me. I couldn't take any of it seriously. Despite when I laughed out loud, the book felt rather pointless. It wasn't necessarily exciting and I was frankly disappointed. If you actually want something harrowing and thought provoking, go watch the movie instead.
