A review by norroway
Conviction by Kelly Loy Gilbert

This was such a painful read, as I went in not expecting such a close experience with an abusive parent, which is rather triggering for me. Well written, but I saw the abuse coming before the reader was expected to because of the "I pushed him too far" language, the blaming himself, etc. This dad is a terrible person. I don't know how to rate this because while I could see that it's well written, my emotional reaction to the book is much more complex.
