Why do I feel bad for him!!!! I loved and hated this book. I loved the book because Berry killed explain pedophilia and how some people are aware that it's their attraction and that it isn't ok, BUT cannot be helped. And they know not to act on that feeling. In this case I believe nothing happened on the pedophile's end BUT happened to him and he told. He tried to get help and it didn't work but I don't remember THEM specifically doing anything.
I loved it because you got both POVs and finally one other point of view that you never got in the book til the end and I promise you they are the entire reason for loathing on this book.
So you got the part you don't expect from a pedophile and then a part you do expect and the person trapped in the middle. I appreciated that person the most because I feel as a bystander if I were in that predicament I feel I would experience the exact same thing.
I just loved this book but that sorry suckah at the end. 🙄😒

Graphic: Bullying, Child abuse, Death, Hate crime, Pedophilia, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Suicide, Forced institutionalization, Blood, Grief, Suicide attempt, and Dysphoria
Minor: Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Violence
Most of the trigger warnings in this book ASIDE FROM initially mentioning the incident, dysphoria and suicidal anything are in passing but they are giant triggers for people so I've placed them in graphic even though they are not indeed graphic.
