I remember reading this author in middle/ high school. Not sure I was supposed to be but I remember loving this author's books. I enjoyed this book in the sense that it was not a difficult read but I feel like it didn't land the way it did in the past.
The content is challenging, check trigger warnings, there are a lot of triggering topics in this book. I haven't experienced the things the main characters have so I'm not super sure how well these topics were handled but no immediate red flags came out to me. Just be mindful as you pick up this book.

This book is honestly really depressing, but important. Check content warnings because this is dark and it talks about a lot of things. I changed it from a full five to a 4.4 because I felt like some of the things said were a little problematic. For example a character said the only thing that could save her was being in love and as this is YA I just am not fully comfortable with that. Other then a few some things it still holds up and I love that it’s written in verse.
