Such an amazing book! I loved it from the beginning to the end. I couldn’t give it any lower than 5 stars. The characters, the storyline, the emotion, the humour - everything was just right. I would read this book again, and that isn’t something I’d typically say. I loved the main character Starr, it was amazing to see her grow throughout the story. She was truly traumatised and stood up for what is right. The other characters are so well developed. I just thoroughly loved this book and everyone needs to read it. Everyone.
