“It didn’t take much longer for them to tell me their own reasons for being there-stories that, in the mere hearing of them, made me older than I was ready to be” (page 20)

I think this book really makes you analyze the wrong ways in which we tend to deal with being mistreated and the always present doubt of “Did I deserve it?”.

This book made me cry a lot, and I really loved the story and characters. The ending was very pleasing.

I think people should enter this book without much knowledge of what they are going to find.
