This book is so beautifully written, it’s like the sadness and awfulness jumps from the page. 
The plot was tragic, but felt so realistic and relatable!
It’s one of those stories where you see it’s going in a devastating direction, Biz is getting more and more derailed, but you can’t do anything but follow her.
Definitely understood it a lot better on my second read though.

It started off really strong for me, and please look at the trigger warnings before you start this book. But as it went on, I felt like it just dragged on unnecessarily and I just needed the book to end
