This was a read that had me anxiously wanting to know what happens next. It ignited more empathy in me but was also so hard to read. Trauma after trauma occurs but the characters are so resilient and lovable and relatable. I wouldn’t recommend this book to everyone, but it is worth your time.

This book was good. Would I read it again? No. Would I recommend it to others? Not without warnings. This book has MANY triggers in it if you have triggers please look into it before reading.
