I originally picked it up after having it recommended on Facebook as “a book that will rip your heart out and have you sobbing”. And while it is want nearly as devastating as i had expected and hoped, i think it will be heartbreakingly beautiful and hopeful for people who resonate with the main character more. This book is for people who feel an unending abyss of pain, one that feels like it has no beginning or end, no rhyme or reason, no way out. For the people that don’t know how to love themselves, who feel shunned by their families, their communities, and their religion. The ending was not what i expected, and while i originally felt like it wasn’t as satisfying as I’d hoped, i think the author did an amazing job staying true to her characters and was so thoughtful and careful about the messages she wanted to send about depression and suicide. About needing yourself just as much as you need others.
I loved every character in this book, and each story has so much to say about love, family (found and born), and happiness.
