I hate this book with all of my being. 
In my original GoodReads review from 2014, I wrote “Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a load of trash and should never be read.”
 I’m retracting this statement. Never read this book. Literally read anything else.

This rating is deeply personal. I don't handle

child death

well and it greatly effects my opinion of a book. Especially

young child death

. Would have given it at least 3 stars if it were not for the ending.
