This is a thematically tough read. Thankfully, there is lots of beautiful language to hold it up and see the reader through. I don't think the structure, while unique, personally worked for me. At about 80% the twist kind of started twisting and I didn't particularly like how it played out. For me, the strength of the novel was in the characterization of some of the main players. It felt like you were going on this journey with Manny and my heart was in my throat about it. Due to the content, I probably wouldn't give this book to someone unless they specifically asked for this type of story.
