Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neill
4.5

Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Really hard to get through because the subject matter is so relenting and it's presented so starkly. It's kind of incredible how well the author writes the voice of a child and that makes the book so much worse as you're reading these horrifyingly gutwrenching experiences through that lens of naivete. Half the time I didn't want to keep going but I just wanted to spend more time with Baby wishing something better would happen to her
