This book was really sad. It started off really slow, I read the first couple of pages and put off reading it for weeks, but when it finally started picking up I finished it pretty quickly.
Spoiler
Scott never got the closure and true happiness he desperately needed for his extremely painful childhood. It haunted him physically.
