Really wished my school did not require us to read this book. Very disturbing and uncomfortable. I feel sorry for Jeanette who has arguably the worst parents you could imagine especially the mother. The only thing the mother cared for was her stupid paintings. I'm literally only halfway through this book and I want to stop but I can't because of my class that's forcing us to read this. Made me extremely grateful for the parents I have who actually care and are disciplined.
