I do have a consent question. Especially for my beloved story #3…how did she get his consent to share this?! That definitely troubles me. Maybe she didn’t need it because she altered so many details? Sounds like he wasn’t around to ask.
Look up trigger warnings, especially don’t read #4 without doing that

I read this book in a couple of days (which is very quick for me), skipping some parts that are just too much to read (i.e. Alana's story)
I feel a bit conflicted about this book. Yes, their stories are important. I do wish the people in the story the best of life. But I don't think I will recommend this book to anyone I know.
