The first time I read this book, I was an impressionable 9 year old. Reading it again a decade later, It's not so bad. I definitely didn't remember the ending except for the "thawing" quote. I'd go as far as to say that this book is better than "A Little Life" because it didn't feel like 'sad porn' (sad for the sake of being sad).
