5.0

For those saying that this book is too confusing on account of multiple perspective changes, it is intentional because the characters' pain is shared. Just be on the lookout for a new voice to take over whenever Heed, Christine, Junior, or L are in a scene together. You will be fine. The poetic writing will make the temporary confusion worth it. Instead of criticizing the author, who is a proven master of her craft, hold yourself to a higher standard of thinking. You will be thankful for it upon completion of this fantastic book.
