This book made me incredibly uncomfortable, and I regret reading it. It is billed as a coming-of-age story, but I didn't see that at all. The main character doesn't really develop at all. Anson's behavior towards the boy is inappropriate. Even though we're supposed to feel bad for him because of his grief, I have no sympathy for Anson because his relationships with people outside of his family are all inappropriate.
