This book was heart wrenching. It tugged at my heartstrings all the way through and made me feel emotions that I wasn’t ready to feel. It was SO GOOD! Such an enjoyable yet heartbreaking read. It has the perfect knack to break your heart and then repair it again.

It is wonderfully written, with characters that show immense depth and the character development is incredibly powerful.

It discusses some very serious topics, topics of which I haven’t seen covered much in YA fiction, and I personally felt they were done really well, with thorough sensitivity. It deals with teenage pregnancy, abortion, birthing, family issues, drugs, alcohol, sexual assault amidst others. It is a very, immensely powerful book and it is one that will stay with me for a long time.

This book truly hit me in more ways than I could’ve ever imagined before going into this. I never anticipated being made to feel this much by this book, but I’m so glad that I read it.
