This was much darker than I am usually comfortable with, and until the last 75% I was annoyed with the writing. But something beautiful happened in the last 100 pages when it all fits together, and you felt like you were there, which for me was the first time I just fell into the book. It was very emotional for me, and I cannot remember a time when I laughed and deeply sobbed at the same time, never mind from a book! I will let both ideas be food for thought, but I cannot recommend this book to someone who hates slow character development or overcoming their struggles.
