This book was so raw, dark, and honest. It was also very aggravating, but in a way that made sense for the characters and the story. I have mixed feelings about this book, although it is not in a negative way. I just can’t decide how to rate it because it felt like an experience rather than a story. That may not make sense to some, but I can’t find another way to describe it. Part of me feels like this is a must-read and the other part of me wants to tell people to never pick this book up. If you do decide to read this, definitely have a feel-good book ready to read afterwards.
