OH, GOD! I think I will not forget about this book for at least ten years.

What just I read? I don't know if I have to give five stars for this fantastic story or one star for making me frustrated and depressed while reading it.

 

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Rape, Sexual Assault, Sexual Content, Sexual Violence, Child Abuse, Toxic Relationship, Mental Illness, Adult/minor Relationship, Bullying, Slut-shamming, Panic Attack, Drug Use/Drug Abuse, Alcoholism, Suicidal thoughts.

 

I know, so many. Because of it, I don’t recommend this book if you have a problem with some of the warnings I list above.

 

I know the story in this book is fiction, but it is not a secret that so many people share a similar history. Please don’t be scared to speak up because trust me, we will trust you. And so many people will help you and give you justice.
