Overall, there was too much social commentary. Quite literally every social issue, save a handful, was mentioned. With this, many of the supporting characters who drove some minor plot points were unremarkable. They seemed to exist only to move the story along and not as part of the world the author created.

Ok it’s now over two months since I’ve finished this book and it’s yet to leave my head. I haven’t stopped thinking or loving this book since I picked it up. I feel so much love and care for these characters and just want to cherish them. It was so raw and emotional and there is one scene towards the end of the book that I cannot stop thinking about . It was incredible. My favourite book of all time. It is indescribable how much I love this book. Read it right now!!!
Another update from a year and a month later - shocker, I still think about this book ALL THE TIME genuinely the most special and my fav of all time 💕

I’m just in pain. This book will leave you in pure agonizing pain, but it’s so worth it.
I was completely caught by this book. Kathleen Glasgow never fails to amaze me with her writing. I’ve been putting the book off for a very long time, since it’s a rough topic, and oh my was it a roller coaster of emotions!
I had to put down the book several times and just cry it out before I could pick up the book again and continue reading. It’s so heartbreaking and so real.
Once I was done I just lied there for a good ten minutes, feeling almost empty. Oh how this book brought out my feelings in a way no book ever has.
It’s such a real topic and a very real book that will make you cry, gasp and hope, honestly there might be some screaming of frustration too. But that’s how a book is supposed to be!
Such an amazing book and story.
