dnfed at 50%. Poor Clara, and poor dog. This is a strange book, and even stranger to me how people like it. Characters are paper thin, except for the violent man, who somehow gets the most pov time, while being the most insufferable person from this book. Everyone is horny all the time, and the dog dies, and the first family, Clara's parents, so interesting and the light of this book, dies as well.
