At first, I wasn't very sure about this book. There was some imagery I didn't like, some things that made me a bit uncomfortable. I kept reading because it was like watching a train wreck - I couldn't look away and I wanted to know how it ended. But I realized along the way, that this is a book that focused on the ugly journey that is life. That not all stories are pretty, nor do they end happily. I did enjoy the ending in this book, and loved the twists. It was a hard read at some points, and I probably won't read it again. But I think it was a good book on how life really is at times.
