This book got me raw from the get-go, and I need to be gotten that deep. The threads and story are fascinating and written so well. It took me 3 or 4 checkouts from the library to finish this book. But although there part in story that lagged and I wasn’t always sure what it might be building towards, I knew wanted to finish it. Lastly, the scene in the bus station bathroom was something else. I read it every time I came back to the book.
