This is about dumb stupid acting adults--I didn't like it much

It is very predictable and I can't imagine anyone not figuring it out fast as to what the plot is about

It's written in the form of just too many people and their thoughts, it has so many stupid descriptions about things that just don't matter to the story at all, what they eat, how it's prepared, what she takes out of the fridge and how she spreads butter on her bread, along with what they wear, how they look and on and on that is soooooo boring in this book I skipped a lot of pages because it doesn't add anything and I didn't miss any of the main story

I don't mean to give a spoiler but yet there will be some that wouldn't want to read this, it deals with abuse of all kinds, domestic, child, rape, and the question used is: who is watching the children? like I said in the beginning--dumb stupid adults more interested in themselves than their children
