this book fucking HURT oh my god 😭 definitely a book with a twist that wasnt necessarily one i didnt see coming, but was one that exceeded my expectations for what exactly it was, and it broke my heart :( also a book that needs a re-read after finishing because everything makes so much more sense now...ugh, this book was so good and so sad :(((

This was based on a true story. Its really sad for kids to go through this. They don't deserve anything like this at all. I don't want to mention to much because it was hard just reading it.

I don't have the words to explain how incredible this book was and how it impacted me. All I will say is that it was a harrowing and masterfully written story that gripped me from beginning to end.
