The ending destroyed me (sobbing) but I still think it was probably the right ending, though I definitely understand why some people didn't like it. Very impactful, makes a hell of a statement on rape culture, and somewhat hopeful in the sense that maybe things can change when we stand up for ourselves as women. It's so f*cked up, the things teenage girls go through.

#MeToo... And I wish I had read this book when I was a teenager, maybe I would have understood it wasn't my fault.

Be aware that this book has pretty much all the trigger warnings. It is a really hard read but also beautiful and haunting and will linger in my head for a long time to come.

After thinking about this book for hours, I’m still a bit torn about the ending. I absolutely loved the book, and not even this feeling could get rid of a star, but I’m still not sure if I was satisfied or not. I am but I’m not. Regardless, this was a book I was so great i to read, and I may read it again in the future
