Various Positions by Martha Schabas

3.0

A lot of people hated this book because of the flawed characters, the terrible family the main character has, etc, etc. But, hey, this book represents a fragment of reality, maybe not yours (hopefully), but I personally can name a few people that are just like the characters in this story. I mean, teenagers can be mean, that's a fact. Also, lots of teens are manipulated by their environment and their family and tend to replicate their parents' behavior somehow. So, my thoughts on this book is just that this represents an existent reality, unfortunately. Also, the writing is very captivating even in its simplicity.
