My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: When I realized there were seven POVs, I was nervous! Like how would I keep track of seven POVs, and then I was worried about the fact the POVs didn’t seem connected together.

I shouldn’t have worried! Wow this was a brilliant book. It is extremely well written. Each character has such a strong voice and I could picture them easily. I had no problem keeping them straight.

It was a funny book and also super sad and also thought provoking. I won’t give any spoilers so it’s hard to say too much about this book.

I went in with zero idea of what happened in this book. And honestly, that’s what you should do too. Super thought provoking important read. Can’t speak highly of it enough.

Content warning: for 18+ due to mature themes. Language. Rape/abuse, neglect, physical abuse, some sexual content.

Love,
