Is this worth a read despite the incest? I find it even more disturbing than Flowers in The Attic, ironically since they're more closely related and 2nd generation incest goers ( but they were in a more dire situation)?

In my head they aren't cousins through blood more just like family friends that call each other cousins.…moreHonestly, I think it is still worth the read. In my head they aren't cousins through blood more just like family friends that call each other cousins. It's helps put my mind at ease. otherwise this is a really good read, Meg Rosoff has an interesting style of writing and it is a very quick paced book which I personally liked. (less)

Thoroughly original . . . a book for all ages. . . . A daring, wise, and sensitive look at the complexities of being young in a world teetering on chaos. ?
