3.0

Read this book for my Contemporary Canadian Literature class. I was truly enjoying it until I was blindsided by the graphic rape scene... I wish that I checked the content warnings before getting to that part - I was surprised. 

Anyways, I still genuinely like this book and the themes that it covers!
