What was the point of this story?! I am so extremely confused!! First of all it is written similar to how a 5 year old writes their first story. “I saw a dog. The dog was brown. The dog ran. The dog jumped.” That drove me insane from the start. This book is depressing and sad but with absolutely no point or closure to make it worth the sadness. Total waste of time.
