0.5

Not a single likeable character in the book except for the friend, Freddy. I know people who give me the same "this person didn't have a good chance to be a good person, after growing up with bad examples" feeling as everyone in this story did - and I wasn't expecting that from this book, but it also didn't make me care or root for any of the characters. They'd be deeply toxic people if they existed, with no attempt to change. Boring.
