This book tore my heart apart and then reput it back togeather again, repeatedly. I probably cried while reading  the entire last 10% of the book. Everything about this book felt so true to life, especially the interpersonal relationships and family dynamics that occurred. You could feel the beauty and horror of Alaska seep through every page. This will be a 10/10 recommend from me.

I was a fan until she

This might be the best book I’ve ever read up to this point in my life. And I’ve never been so destroyed. But I don’t know if I could ever read it again because of how much it destroyed me. The one thing I did not like was when

Lenny got manipulated into confessing!! Like she should have known and I felt the whole plot point was unnecessary.

but despite that, I can’t give it less than 5 stars.

nrogers_1030's review against another edition

I didn't care for *any* of the characters except Large Marge so I've had trouble sticking with the book. 
Maybe I'll pick it back up in the future 🤷🏻‍♀️

Absolutely gutted! This was the first time in a long time that I was scared to keep reading because I didn’t know if I could handle something bad happening to my favorite characters. I had such a visceral reaction to this book, at one point yelling, “F**k you,” while listening in the car and could not put it down.
