While reading this book I'd describe my anger at it, how mad and upset it made me, but I was still captivated by this story and the people within. I'm glad I read it, the ending was so satisfying, one of the best I've seen, it's fantastic. I will say it's not for people who can't handle tough and awful topics. I wouldn't recommend it, read at your own risk.
