This book is crushing. Poverty, racism, sexism, disababled kids, child abuse, exhausted parents, grooming,  sexual assault and suicide.

Everyone in this story is harmed and harms others. Everyone is lying but somehow.... Almost everyone actually has the best of intentions.   This will also really, really make you think about ehat is "medical treatment" and what is "disability".
