2.0

This was a difficult read in part because of the psyche of the character whose perspective we hear the story from and in part due to the actions of the other characters.

It’s definitely a really vivid capture of the experience of childhood bullying and the ways that impacts the brain but that comes with all the downsides of living in that world.
