Loved it! I recently read “wishing for someday soon” by Tiffany King and that was a very similar story. But that book was a 5 star read for me. This one is not, (which might be because I just read that other book) because the ending felt really rushed to me. I also feel like even though we know certain things about how the mom acts, I wanted the character to be more fleshed out.
I read this book in a day and had trouble putting it down. Stories like these are right up my alley, but I don’t think they’re for everyone as it can be quite emotional. It’s a good read and important, because people DO live like this and these stories DO happen. I loved the school aspect of this story more than Tiffany Kings’ book.
