Easily just soared to the top of my favorite books of all time. So beautifully written with such devastating heartbreak. I’m going to be thinking about Betty for a long time.

This book is very very well done and will certainly stick with you for a very long time. A unique “coming of age”. I caught myself getting emotional several times. Make sure to read trigger warnings if you feel that these could apply to you
