At first, I thought it'd end up being a dnf, but I'm glad I stuck with it. It's deep, brutal, disturbing and an utterly powerful piece of writing.

It really tugged on my emotions, and I felt like I could relate to some of the experiences Lia had growing up. It highlights the struggles many young girls go through, and how easily things can get out of control. 

It's definitely something I would recommend reading, but be sure to approach with an open mind.
