Really enjoyed parts I and II of this book and was immediately gripped by Noa's story. I was caught off guard by part III and not in a good way, in a way that makes me question if it was something that was necessary to do.
Graphic: Bullying, Rape, and Trafficking
Moderate: Suicide, Vomit, and Suicide attempt
