Readable but ultimately disappointing due to a chicken-shit ending and lack of character development.
Fuuuck. I was not expecting that. I got this from the library because of the hype and I don't often do audiobooks because my brain doesn't seem to retain information delivered aurally but I'm glad I heard this in the author's voice. It's harrowing to hear what she went through; it's laid out in such a basic way, without caveats or excuses, that the trauma is obvious but never devolves into self-pity.
The two first person narratives did not have distinct enough voices; I kept forgetting which kid was talking to me. Very distracting.
The artwork is beautiful and the narrative is intriguing but the characters are really flat so I didn't actually care what happened.
