I liked it. The main character kind of came off as someone on the spectrum and I liked seeing the world through her eyes. It was an interesting perspective. Then how her “otherness” is received in her social circle. Her family wants her to “fit in” so bad they don’t mind that she’s living with a really abusive man-child. People can be cruel to others that they perceive as different and I feel that reading about it from the point of view of the victim helps build empathy.
