SAD. Sad, sad book with incredible writing. This could've been one of my all-time favorites, hadn't it 

ended the way it did. The ending gives the whole thing an incredibly depressing message that I don't agree with.

Literally the best depiction of the life long effects of csa. A lot of it hit way too close to home. Absolutely beautifully written.
