I really liked this book. I was definitely rooting for Queenie, at the same time horrified at how things were going. It's overall really dark in terms of themes but I feel like they all serve the purpose.

Heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time, especially if you've experienced any similar situations. Queenie felt like a best friend at a difficult time.
