I would kill and die for this book' ALISSA NUTTING, author of TampaThe year's most spiky and powerful novella "When I was 13 I knew nothing about anything.I only cared about love.

Her parents forget her birthday and her sister hates them so much she wishes they were dead. Chichirim does bad things at school. And still, no one cares. Until, one day, an older man picks her up on the side of the road. He tells her she is pretty.Her tells her what to do. Underneath her hard outer shell, her softness is being exploited and destroyed by the people she trusts and loves the most."I want to come back as a crab. A crab's skin is made of bone and the flesh is inside the bone. But we're the opposite. We have bone inside flesh."THE CRUSTACEAN is an intricately crafted novella exploring memory, exploitation, and the lasting effects of adult abuse and betrayal, for readers of My Dark Vanessa and Tampa.
