I bought this book probably in around 2014 or 2015 and hadn't read it yet. I'm sure I picked it up and put it down at least once. I didn't like it. All three characters were having a rough go of it and while normally I wouldn't mind that, in this book it just felt relentless. It was also very graphic and I felt weird about reading about minors partaking in these actions. While I do think it is important to tell the types of stories that are presented in this book I want them told differently. This book is getting a star because I think the format is interesting and I liked the poem on the last page.
