Helpful Score: 9

This is a very well-written book, I almost stopped reading it because it was so sad, but then started reading it and read it all in one morning (minus the 50 pages I started earlier the night before) I think it need to be read in one setting because if you think too much on it it is very depressing. Although it is fiction if you have ever been involved in social services, know of a family that suffers from adultery and/or mental illness or know a child that was forced to grow up too fast this book is disturbing. If you have never been touched by that then you are blessed, but be aware what is written about as fiction exists daily in lives around us. Beware if you think too much on this it can have a powerful effect. It is a quick read, but not what I would consider a light read.
