This book would be 5 stars if it wasn’t because of the podcast style it’s written in. It’s a great audiobook, 5/5. But I wish someone would’ve recommended it that way before I got to reading. It’s an intriguing story. Throughout the whole book I just wanted to find a way to help these girls. I felt for them, I cried. I wanted to DO something. I certainly stopped reading or listening a couple of times to gather my thoughts. I bawled my eyes out. There was a point where my family took my kindle away because this book was just SO damn emotional. I wish trigger warnings were used more seriously as well as being taken more seriously because I didn’t think they’d be accurate, but damn. I felt so many raw things because I didn’t take the trigger warnings seriously. It's a great book, just beware of the things that people warn you against with this one. Courtney wasn’t playing around with this one.
