What an absolute roller coaster of a plot! It's entirely character-based and this poor child is going through it. The emotions that come with reading this are many, and come from every part of my own history (teenager, mom, girlfriend, etc.). From one POV Hopkins allows you to see and feel how so many can be affected by one very distinct moment in time.
