— Good, but my least favorite [a:A.S. King 1651879 A.S. King https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1323437957p2/1651879.jpg] book so far. Centered on a dysfunctional family and the psychological abuse happening within. Such a heavy and disturbing read.
Gerald is easily one of the most interesting characters I've seen lately. He's far from perfect, but it's easy to understand and sympathize with him, and I found myself getting invested pretty quickly.
The book itself is engaging, sometimes intense, sometimes funny. It's always honest, often depressingly so, and definitely has a fair bit of emotional heft.
And Tasha made me so much angrier than is probably reasonable.
And I am now done with it! Omg, A.S. King is such a good writer. I love this book, but Everybody Sees the Ants is my absolute favorite so far. I've yet to read her other two books, Please Ignore Vera Dietz and Ask the Passengers.
Review may come up soon! (Meaning, maybe in a week or two)
