Sometimes I'm so tired I can barely move or think straight. But it gets better after I've had a couple of strong coffees from the buffet. Jean doesn't approve of twelve-year-old girls drinking coffee, but truly, Jean can get fucked. (p. 26)The blurb on my edition says 'Two children you would never want to meet' but I don't think that's being fair on the narrator. Yes, her language can be crude, and yes, she holds little respect for the grown-ups around her. But I really can't blame her. The adults are at best ineffectual and at worst sadistic creeps.
'My parents got chopped up by a ship propeller.'And so a friendship forms. Together they start investigating the murders of a couple of young women, and also play games such as re-enacting the murders.
'Cool.'
