After reading You’d Be Home Now, I knew this was going to be just as good. Turned out it was better. This book was devastatingly beautiful. The characters were full of flaws, some more than others, every person just trying to stay alive the best they could. It was raw and reflective of so many people’s experiences. Beautifully written.

Not for the faint of heart. Tells the story of the heartbreaking reality for too many people. Writing was a little hard to follow sometimes, but the story still took you for a ride with the character and gives the reader room to consider difficult, heavy subjects. Check content warnings if you or your child are considering reading.
