Very engaging book. Makes you think. Different perspectives are written well. Cried many times throughout the book. Don’t look at chapter names in the TOC, has minor spoilers.

This book really challenged me throughout. It is beautifully written and I really cared for several of the characters.  However, it has some really difficult themes and so It's hard to say "i enjoyed reading it" as it was an uncomfortable read.  I wouldn't necessarily recommend this book due to the content.
