this book is like not okay. i have never been more morally conflicted in MY LIFE, EVER. This book was truly something else i still do not know how to feel… at some points adrianne did come across as VERY ignorant and biased.. and just ignorant overall. BUT THE ENDING??? LUCAS???? insane. honestly insane. This is also the first book that has ever made me teary eyed ( very close to crying). but gah damn😧. At some points i was sickened to my stomach but Berry wrote in such a way that you want to find out more just because of the topic in itself. i do wish that we could get more of Noah’s perspective but i guess the book being written from the mothers perspective made you weigh both sides of the situation. i don’t think i would be happy with a specific ending (good or bad if you will). but yeah this was a mad one still. 

*ps i’m also in dire need of a pallet cleanse after this.

Wow. Holy cognitive dissonance batman. I am honestly speechless and I don’t know how to rate this book.

If you are looking for something that will turn your Friday night book club into a raging debate over NAMBLA, assisted suicide, whether teens should be tried as youths or adults for violent crimes, whether or not a parent’s love is truly unconditional, and basically every other controversy that will get everybody yelling at each other, this is the book.

(Book club friends, watch out, I might actually do this, because I need to discuss this with somebody now haha)
