  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

Apparently I'm on a streak because this one hurt, too. Trigger warnings for abuse, neglect, and sexual assault. I was not prepared. I had some frustrations at the beginning about the random, inconsistent references to people from their respective homes, but after finishing I recognize that what was left out wasn't necessarily part of the story the author was trying to tell, so I'm not sure if they make sense now. This is an important story for sure, and I think it will be impossible not to care about the main characters. I can't decide if this means too heavily into "all the problems are solved because the guy likes her", but it definitely isn't quite that cut and dry.
