I debated between 2 and 3 stars because the plot was interesting, but I really disliked the writing. However it's a YA book, and I know 15 year old me would have LOVED it, it's just not one of those YA books that seems to hold up as you get older. The dialogue was corny and seemed forced, the million and five nicknames for Pip was cringe, but again, this book wasn't marketed towards my age group and I get that, so I'm trying to be a bit more generous in my rating.
Graphic: Animal death and Murder
Moderate: Drug use and Rape
