This was just what I needed…
This was so light despite the heavy topic written between the lines. It was beautifully written and the reprisal of themes and quotes was done so authentically. I never felt bashed over the head with the message, although it was clear from the start. The character development and bond that gradually bloomed throughout the pages was truly magical. The humor and love that surrounded the hardness that these characters experienced made this a truly enjoyable reading experience. I was laughing, crying, kicking my feet, twirling my hair… just a completely visceral reading experience.
10/10 recommend.
