So the first time around I dnf'd this book because I couldn't stand the pov and reading from the 5yo boy's perspective was just no fun.This time around I tried audio, and while it was easier for me to get into and I actually finished it, I don't really see what all the fuss is about.

Why should I read a novel about a situation that I would prefer to pretend never happens? But this book was se...
I'm not a fan of this book, unfortunately, mainly due to being uncomfortable with the subject matter and the style of writing. It's strong issue being dealt in there but there are just times I felt like dropping it off but being myself, I can't not finish (very rarely anyway).So I finished it and I...
