Unlike other stories I've read, this focuses mostly on two characters who are unknowingly and deeply connected. They come together in a surprise twist at the end, just as one of them desperately needs it.

I have had this on the bookshelf for quite a long time. Here's to a new book. Cheers!
I enjoyed reading this book. As opposed to 'I enjoyed this book'. Do you know what I mean?
The dialogue in parts brought to mind Fathers Ted and Dougal - and though I by no means intend that as a criticism, I'm not sure it's what the author intended.
The plot was pretty meh-ish. A few characters were nicely drawn, a few a bit watery. A few Americanisms annoyed me as being totally out of place.
Touching ending but utterly predictable.
#TW "The others stood silent as the blows fell, trying not to look, staring straight ahead. Each boy counted & suffered each stroke; each boy knew the indignity of wetting his own bed and frequently endured the humiliation dealt out by the merciless nun. One morning a boy woke up on a dry, spotless sheet, relieved; the next morning he woke up wet. There was nothing he could do but pray it wouldn't happen" Heart rending #somethingforsept #uglycry
