There is a lot going on in this book, and a lot of characters, but I really liked it. There is also a huge mix of weighty issues in book: mental illness, obesity, abuse, and more, but mixed in with the occasional bit of humour. I found myself being horrified by Helen, Stevie‘s uncle, her “friend”, and the lawyer defending that case, but then the author would turn around and put Stevie in some ridiculous situation and I‘d be laughing.

LibraryCin I thought she did that very well. II think a bunch of very quirky characters made it “easy” to throw in the humour. At the same time, the author did a good job of showing the struggle that Helen went through with her schizophrenia 3y
