There is something poignant about this particular book. I’ve never a read novel in verse before and this one was a great one to start. Obviously as a novel in verse it doesn’t take long to read at all. Which is perfect since every single page flows so perfectly together that I imagine it would be an injustice to put it down.
Graphic: Gun violence and Violence
Moderate: Child death
Minor: Drug abuse
