This book was quite the page turner! Loved how it showcased the effects of hunger and poverty on Chrissie. The twists and turns had me hooked throughout and it was a great read. They should do a prequel with Chrissie's mom.

Very heavy with a hopeful ending. Bleak and dark through out. Find yourself simultaneously hoping for the main character and disliking them
