This was an easy read book. But challenging for other reasons. As the main focus of the book is of two children who live in a broken drug fuelled family who get protected by a young man who serves jail time for sexual assault of a minor, despite it being consensual and even having documentation for permissionto marry the child. There is lots to discuss about this book.
