wow wow wow. i cannot explain my love for this book. this is such a harrowing tale and at some points i forgot it wasn’t fiction. my heart just broke for the people in the story and it got so tense at times i worried for the survival of javier that i forgot i was reading a memoir. i will never forget this book.
