4.5

I really enjoyed this book thoroughly.  The second person narrative gave it an immediacy… like a person telling you a story (you know it’s like when you).  It made it feel really intimate.  As the story begins to unfold and be revealed, the judgements that you may have initially begin to soften.  And I found the main character compelling.  It’s not a book that is “nice” or “easy” but it kept my attention and I read it quickly.
