I’ve never truly felt the feelings that have flown through my body like I have when I read this book. It’s heart wrenching to the point I felt it in my gut, it can truly be said that this book was life changing in every sense of the words. Eden’s story and following along with it broke me to pieces and made me gee like I myself could have a voice.

I really enjoyed this book, and the ending was truly satisfying. It did seem to drag at times, but I finished this entire book in one night. It's a captivatingly tragic story, and it hooked me till the end. I would NOT suggest reading this book if you are sensitive to topics like rape or sexual assault—be sure to read the content warnings! Overall, this was a very sad book whose avid depiction of dispair drew me in and kept me for the whole ride.
