This book was so devastating and heartbreaking, and yet I couldn’t put it down. I could not stop thinking about this book, and after finishing it I still can’t, as I am constantly reminded that its contents aren’t only fictional. 

Overall a really good story, easy to read and understand while still tackling big issues, and maintaining a sense of hope throughout.
