I'm unbearably sad after reading the book though the book seems to have a happy ending of sorts for him
He's got a plan.
A level math then further math then a level physics . Then uni. With a proper house and toilet and his dog.
But.. his father and mother have split up. The mother was happy with another man now she's split up with him too for his sake.
So his parents are living life for him almost. And it's tough. He can't even show his appreciation because in his world everything is one dimensional. So he is quite "selfish" in a way he can't help. And those who love him have to live with him for his sake not theirs.
He's got two people who really love him for who he is. Just that they can't live with each other which makes me very very sad.
And by the looks of it they may not be able to live anyone else either unless they can find someone who can live with him his way. The can't be easy. Complicated love story here.
And this kid... he can only see the surface of things. That his father killed a dog and lied about his mum. He can't see the struggle and pain of his father that led him to this situation.
And he can't see or appreciate the love and pain of his mum either.
So in a matter of years I guess he would go back to live with his dad. That's my guess.
But there's something beautiful and uncomplicated about him too. He can't get this "parents fight and each wants to sleep with someone else and that his mum wanting to sleep with someone else may make the dad unhappy or that Mrs sheares not wanting to sleep with the dad would also make him unhappy. Unhappy enough to kill an innocent dog."
His mind and old view has no space for such unnecessary complications.
