Other people have commented on how dull or repetitive the prose is in this book, but I feel like the style really suits the characters who are all significantly disturbed. The story really resonates with me across each person's motives, and the complexity of child neglect and its consequences are exposed in such a raw and in-your-face way. Sure, it's pretty on-the-nose, but I can't say that I didn't enjoy it.
