This was a slow burn that hit hard with emotions. Switching timelines and wondering about this skittish teenage girl leads you to turning page after page in this 400 + pager.
This is a book rich in imagery and character backstory and development. If you don’t love a character driven story, I’d say to skip this. But I loved it. It was much more emotional than I thought it was going to be, and sometimes a reader needs that surprise!
