And this shows it’s not always a great idea to start a book without knowing what it’s about or checking for trigger warnings (child molestation!).
There isn’t much happening in this book. The “big reveal” that is supposed to put blame on someone else, really doesn’t. As far as I’m concerned, the mother was still at fault. Yes yes the things that happened to her are awful, but she left her little brother alone in the house, knowing full well he wasn’t capable of taking care of himself.
I did really like the specifics about Singapore 🇸🇬.
