This was my first book by Ms. Dimaline, and she has me hooked. This writing was like cutting and edgy and poetic and just so incredibly raw and real. It felt so authentic to the rough-as-hell years of middle and high school. And the exploring of the sexuality and the fascination with dark things. I loved it all. I highly recommend this one.
