Status Updates From Precisamos Falar Sobre o Kevin

This is one of the most horrible and gruesome representation of a female character - and a parent/child relationship - and it is SPECTACULARLY written.

I am so repulsed and yet so intrigued by this character. Shriver does an excellent job of making you want to relate and then feel terrible about it.

this is well written and i love reading about a woman who is a bad mother and kind of shitty all around but i'm increasingly put off by the fact that it's all written in form of letters to her extremely unlikeable republican husband who seems to do nothing but start arguments with his wife and jerk off into the us flag. for the first time in my life, i wish a book had less pining and yearning. keep him away from me.
