19%: number 12 must be josh 👀

30%: more underage sex doesn’t fix anything hun

lai arī grāmata pieskaras ļoti smagam tematam, to bija pārsteidzoši viegli lasīt, jo man bija viegli rezonēt ar galveno varoni, kā arī dialogi šķita reāli. grāmata kalpo kā viela pārdomām, un es kā sieviete, kura ir par mata tiesu paglābusies no šāda rakstura notikuma, stāstu īpaši ņēmu pie sirds.
un josh - oh i loved him, my pookie <3
