Review
I saw this book and decided to read it because the child's story sounded similar to my own, and I suppose I had a sick desire to see how I'd be able to handle it. Normally I avoid stories like this, but I figured it wouldn't be bad if it was a short story.
In some ways, I'm glad I read it. Because I was able to do it, and I felt like I had gotten through a line I've been afraid of crossing for a while. In others, I wish stories like this didn't exist. But then, I wish this entire situation wasn't a real thing
All and all, I felt like it could have used a bit more work. It was a good story (in a manner of speaking), but it had some grammar/content issues.
The most important thing I got out of this story was the end. What happens after the fact. It was realistic, similar to my own experience. Helped me feel like I wasn't some freak.
