My Torin by K Webster
3.0
3.5 pennies for Torin.
What in the world did I just read? I'm kind of confused.
I found this quite a disturbing read, but I didn't hate it... In fact, I was totally hooked and finished it in a day and a half. I enjoyed the ending and would have rated it higher if it weren't for a few... weird moments in the first three-quarters of the book. But I honestly don't know how to rate this, because I definitely did find it very intriguing and the characters are really different from these typical NA novels. I don't count this as a real spoiler because you find out soon as a reader that Casey (one of the MCs) is a cocaine baby, and Torin is autistic.
Maybe I will go back to this review later because my mind is spinning. What I do have to say for now that this book felt to me like a darker, way more disturbing version of [b:Archer's Voice|35397790|Archer's Voice|Mia Sheridan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1497262727l/35397790._SY75_.jpg|26343327], and felt, when it comes to writing, a bit like [b:Sempre|18338465|Sempre (Sempre, #1)|J.M.
