Stranger

The negative reviews, I feel, stem from people who've never suffered the traumas that drive this story.

For anyone who has suffered the extreme side of bullying in school, and the punishment you receive when you are finally worn down to nothing, this book hits hard.

To those who've suffered at the hands of a family member abusing the love and trust that is instilled from infancy, and been abused, this book hits hard.

There is some closure I would have preferred, or some more stated justice spoken, but overall this book was sensational.
