camilla gibb's mouthing the words
i'm going to start by noting that i thought this book was really good--it was really well-written and the characters were quite realistically drawn. however, i think it's weird that none of the reviews i read or the book jacket mentions that the narrator's problems are all caused by sexual abuse. i mean, that's not giving anything away--it's mentioned pretty early on in the book--and it can be hard to read. i just found it odd that no one seemed to be able to say anything about that. certainly it's not described at length, but it is the emotional lynchpin of the story.
