Lots of uncomfortable bits. Mainly random nudity and constant reminders that the main character is wearing her dead mother's underwear (like everyday). She also refers to her mother as 'Mother' and that became really annoying. Overall, it was pretty good. I never would have guessed the ending.

This book might not have even been read before it was published, judging by how many grammatical errors there are in it, but I love the characters so much and this really was a perfect ending for them.
