Holy. Wow. 

I initially was interested in this book due to the style of writing/formatting of the book. I stumbled across this one accidentally and added it to my Amazon wishlist. It was then gifted to me by @bookmarkedbymel and I immediately started reading it upon receiving it. I’ve barely put it down since. 

Ellen Hopkins is an artist. There’s no other way to describe it. The plot is phenomenal and dark and unsettling but is written and portrayed in the most beautiful way possible. I can’t even say anymore about this book because it truly wouldn’t do it justice. 

Now I’m off to Amazon to add every book written my Ellen Hopkins to my wishlist.
