5.0

This was a book with so many triggers, but so good overall! It was honestly hard to stomach when reading about the abuse of Callie that went on for years and how much she suffered daily. Leigh was a wonderful sister that carried the guilt of being a mom figure to her sister and watching her live through tremendous pain and addiction. The ending was traumatic, but also well rounded at the same time.
