Such an important read. I won’t go into details because it’s technically a spoiler but this talks about two very important issues that happen way to often in the US. The reason it’s not a five star is just because the writing style was off for me. I don’t know why but I felt like I couldn’t fully connect to the characters. I also wish some of Annabelles family was in it more and we got to see her relationship with them but I understand that she had to go through this journey by herself mostly. I did tear up at the end when she made her speech .
