This book certainly left me with a pretty high level of discomfort, which will stay with me for several evenings, so it did exactly what it said on the tin.
For me, this book is essentially witnessing and experiencing abuse (all the types) through the innocent lense of a 10 year old girl. I can't figure out if this book is really cleaver or just really mucked up - possibly both. I love a dark and gritty read and I do not consider myself a sensitive and easily triggered reader, but I wished I didn't read this one.
If you're anything like me, I know this review will only serve to make you want to read it all the more, but at least I tried!
