This book is very very interesting. It’s about this girl, Ingrid, who her family suspects is a psychopath. Ingrid’s cousin Brianne is studying psychology in college and has convinced them thus. It’s a story about a complicated love and family who wants to trust her. Even she starts to worry she might actually be a psychopath.
For those who don’t know, a psychopath is someone who has the following characteristics.
• might not outwardly show it, but thinks themselves superior to others
• manipulates people for the joy and interest of it
• does not have any or much emotion at all
• manipulates people for the joy and interest of it
• does not have any or much emotion at all
A sociopath is the same but more organized and refined.
The whole “Kid Table” thing is also part of it. Cousin Brianne, after being sat at the Kid Table her whole life, suddenly gets moved to sit with all the adults of the older generation. All of the cousins try to figure out what changed and how they could get moved.
Anyway, the book is very very good. I totally recommend making a point to find it and read it.
Age?
Well, there is some f-bombs dropped throughout the book and the psychopath idea and stuff probably isn’t the greatest impression on children, so I’d say not under 13, maybe 12. If you want a younger friend or sibling or son/daughter to read it, I’d read it first, then make your decision.
Philosophy, Morals, and Themes
I think the psychopathy is the main theme here. Also, stealing your cousin’s boyfriend is a big fat nono and, as Dom puts it oh so perfectly, “#$%&ed up”.
