4.0

 Wow, this was a very impactful book for me. The characters felt so real and there is so much bottled up emotion in them. I really had a hard time putting it down.
I liked how the characters were strong and overcame major adversity but it also seems so senseless. A part of me rages and their poor choices and a part of me weeps for their pain and hardships.
This book could certainly be disturbing from many readers.
