I wish there were more than 5 stars. I wish that my words were eloquent enough to describe just how beautiful this book is. My first book by thus author and was hooked. The characters tug at your heart. You want to hug each of them, the setting and plot is beautiful but dark and frightful. But, the community and acceptance is beautiful. I cannot say enough, this is one of my top 5 ever read and I will be reading it again to find things I've missed!

As many trigger warnings as there are. Thus is a story of survival and finding one's voice. It's beautiful.

elizabeth_ilean's review against another edition

I can’t get past the manipulation and abuse of the dad. It’s nothing graphic, but that combined with his fixation on prepping for when ‘the shit hits the fan’ and trying to fear monger the town to prevent progress… It’s very emotionally exhausting 😆
