"So I just have to lie here, in the quiet, trying to ignore the familiar ache of loneliness and the guilty voices in my head."

I love this book. It has such a powerful message on struggles, friendship, family, fear and loneliness. It is such an easy read yet so emotional. I love how it goes between two POV and one being a present story and the other being a past.

I love the two main character how their struggles are different but kind of the same. Bo’s struggle was very hard and emotional for me for what she has gone through. She shows she is tough but in her chapters you can see her breaking apart. When she admits she was scared and lonely, I was just bawling. I understand from her story, her past why she has those fears and why she needs Agnes. As nobody was really there for her, when she found Agnes, she felt like she can only do something when Agnes is there. Agnes gave her the confidence.

Agnes on the other hand, her struggle is very within her family’s trust. She is being locked inside and she just need her family to trust her to make sure she can do what she wants to do. Bo gave her the side where she sees she can have fun and have the sense of freedom that people never give her.
Everyone should go give this book a read!

“Even though this story could end a thousand different ways, and even though chances were, it might not have a happy ending, it didn't matter. Because I already knew how I was gonna tell this story.”
