I really enjoyed the author’s way of writing. It was easy to get immersed in the story and I found myself wanting to keep reading. There are lots of beautiful quotes/phrasings in this book and it touches on dark and serious content in a raw, empathetic way. However I wasn’t as emotionally invested as I thought I might, which is unfortunate because I really wanted to feel with the characters. Still would recommend it, but check the TW’s before.
