i enjoyed it, especially because of the various psychological portraits. i wasn't sure who was to blame and to what extent, and i kept going back and forth between contempt and pity. 

the story was told through different povs, but in majority they were retelling the same story,  so after the third time, it got a bit repetitive. i also don't know if this is the matter of the translation, but the inner thoughts and the perspective of 13 yo children read like thoughts of adults, which felt like a bit of a narrative failure.

however, it was still very interesting and i didn't see the ending coming. 

(also, the way you could forget that these boys even had fathers at all because they were so absent... men are trash always and forever!)
