The book is intense and remains dark.
Shasta looks to solve her own recovery whilst simultaneously stepping off the planet as the institutions do what they consider the right thing. Institutions of Government in the mentally ill cases and sex offenders get a bad wrap for collective neglect and personal neglect of staff.
What is unfolding is whether Shasta’s father Steve is part of the crime that is interesting.

This book is dark, violent and brings out in no uncertain terms the impact of domestic violence both close and people remote to the source of the violence.
Through the eyes of Shasta in this book it is heavy reading. I would not say compulsive however as a human who grew up in a domestic violent environment this book way surpasses my experience.
I am reading in the knowledge I am mature enough not to crash.
