Absolutely heart wrenching. The realism of this book just made it that much more tragic. It will make you uncomfortable. It talks about difficult issues surrounding race, homophobia, early sexualization, and abuse. But that's what makes this book important. Honestly have had few books that have impacted me in such a way.
Not for the faint hearted. Difficult but important read.
