Um I did not see that ending coming at all. I’m in shock 😮
Reread
Changed from a five star to a four star. I still really enjoyed this book, but it’s not on the same level as some of her other books. This author does such a good job of having all these different perspectives and opinions and just getting to learn more about them and the people and interactions. This one was interesting and I could see everyone’s point, but I don’t know fully what I would agree with. This is kind of triggering for bulimia and self harm. It doesn’t shy away from details be be warned. This did make me tear up multiple times. Honestly I really only liked reading from Amelia’s prospective because she wasn’t as annoying as all this adults. They just pissed me off at times, but it was interesting and I was invested in everyone’s story. I think if you usually like her books your like this. It’s very similar to my sisters keeper.
