Wow. Holy cognitive dissonance batman. I am honestly speechless and I don’t know how to rate this book.
If you are looking for something that will turn your Friday night book club into a raging debate over NAMBLA, assisted suicide, whether teens should be tried as youths or adults for violent crimes, whether or not a parent’s love is truly unconditional, and basically every other controversy that will get everybody yelling at each other, this is the book.
(Book club friends, watch out, I might actually do this, because I need to discuss this with somebody now haha)
