Thank you to NetGalley, Leila Mottley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book, in exchange for an honest review!

I was absolutely engrossed in this book from the very beginning. It is heartbreakingly beautiful, and the fact that it's Leila Mottley's debut novel at only 17 makes it even more amazing! I'm excited to see what else she releases in the future!
