I don't give memoirs or raw emotional books anything less than a five. This book has EVERY trigger you can think of. Take the warning seriously but this is someone's life.

3.5

3.5 stars. Well this was DARK, my friends. I can read about awful humans all live long day but thank goodness this is fiction because the graphic animal abuse and animal death was so unnecessary. This is a great story and it’s well written but I’ll never read another book from Tiffany.

dark emotional sad slow-paced

4.25

A coming of age story, devastating and full of magic. 

I would have rated higher except I didn't love the use of past tense. I understand why it was used as a device, but it left me with the feeling that there was going to be a shift in story that never came.
