i hadnt heard a single person talk about this book but i saw the cover and as someone that went to catholic school i was like yes shared trauma and had to impulse buy it. no regrets. this book was amazing. i can't believe it's not all over booktok. i was in love with almost every character, the sibling dynamic was perfect, that eldest daughter responsibility was so real. the only thing i didnt like about this book was

this trope in books and films always annoys me but honestly i can completely overlook it because the book was so amazing
