Wow, this book. Im not even sure I know how to review it, to be honest. While I started it with no real expectations, I found myself on multiple occasions thinking, This is so not what I expected. Which is a pretty hard thing to say, since I didnt really expect anything.

I will say that I liked it, and at the same time say that I felt like someone had punched me several times during the course of the novel. Janes childhood and relationship with her parents by itself is a sad story, one that had me crying on multiple occasions. On top of that, we get to see just how much that childhood can reach into adulthood and continue to affect someone. Furthermore, there are all kinds of other horrible things that Jane has to encounter and it was almost too much for this reader.
