An Incredibly sad but beautifully written story about two girls who

victims of rape and find comfort in each other.

Really makes you feel for the girls…left me mad, sad, and disappointed. Blake does an beautiful job portraying the conflict and complex emotions of each character. Devastatingly perfect. A stunning story of a brave girl facing unimaginable circumstances. 4 stars because it’s SO SAD.

Toca muchos temas importante de una gran manera y en algunos momentos me dieron ganas de llorar, pero hubo algo que simplemente no me permitió conectar completamente con el libro.
