This was such an interesting book. From the way it was written to the story itself. Kristina felt like a real character in this book,

and I was really cheering for her to get better throughout the entire book. I’m glad she was able to keep the a baby, but it seems like her road to recovery is going to be put to a large halt with knowing how this book ends.

I am no longer a member of this book's target demographic. I used to love the lyricism of the prose, but this time 'round I found it a little annoying.

There are a lot of trigger warnings in this book. It is a good and very eye opening book. Please take care of yourself if planning to read this book.

I binged this book in only a few days mainly because it’s written in free verse and not at all like your “average“ novel. However, I think this form of writing fits the story way better because it highlights the ragged, cut off, not always coherent way of thinking of the people using.
