That's totally fair, like I'm no expert on what goes on in the mind of a child who's being abused (thank God) so it might be way off, but there were somethings in the book that Turtle went through that I could relate to so that he got right for me atleast. If that kinda stuff happend to you I'm so goddamn sorry

Right there's plenty relatable in the story, and I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I feel the aspect of sexual abuse was not done well , and that's enough to turn me off from the book.
