This book had me absolutely absorbed from the start till the end! I find the portrayal of the effects abuse can have is especially realistic. The narrator is flawed and sometimes insufferable yet that is the joy of the book, a flawed narrator growing and learning. I did find however I often had to put this book down due to its sometimes graphic imagery and descriptions  so I’d recommend taking that into account,it wouldn’t be for everyone yet it has become one of my few favourite books to date. Seriously so interesting
