Having read Shuggie Bain, it has a similar sense of ache and longing for these characters to have good things finally happen to them. Watching their lives fall apart, it is entirely heartbreaking. The depiction of them at their worst is harrowing, and the desire to help them from a readers perspective is difficult to grasp. I cannot recommend enough.
