With a book as deeply sad and disturbing, the author imbues hope and perseverance to make a book that manages to steer the reader out from depths of despair. Content warnings should be taken very seriously.

I had a love-hate moment with this book. I couldn’t relate to the story so it was very sad to me and I had a hard time connecting with this book. However, I did find the story very tragic. I feel so bad for all of the people in this book. It was a great story but I don’t know that I would want to read it again.
