bkmckown's review against another edition

5.0

This book was gut wrenching and absolutely heartbreaking. It made me angry, sad, the whole slew of emotions. When you live a sheltered, safe life in the suburbs, you forget how horrible the lives of other humans can be. I love books that tug on my empathy and remind me that there are girls who are unable to stand up for themselves who need others to do so for them. The people who work with these girls are literal saints and I admire them so much.
