This book was a challenging read at times, but I loved how the story unfolded and once I was a few chapters in I didn't want to stop. The stories were heartbreakingly realistic.
Could have done without the chapters from Vera's perspective, especially after the first one, but they weren't a huge component of the book so I didn't mind it.
