I loved this book. It is so beautifully written and the story is fascinating. I would advise people to note the trigger warnings as this book covers a lot of tough topics and can be difficult to get through at times. It made me cry, and books don’t do that to me often. That being said, I really enjoyed it and the story and the characters really touched me. There were moments where I was gasping out of shock and by the time I got halfway through I couldn’t put it down. I would definitely recommend this book because I think it is a story that people should hear, and I myself am going to think about it for a long time.
