Ending was so good!

Good book, but pretty tough to get through in some parts. Not for the faint of heart...
dark emotional inspiring mysterious tense fast-paced

A really tough read and yet so worth it. Multiple sections that just had me ugly crying. I ripped through the final 80 pages with my heart pounding. It’s Due’s masterpiece.

WOWWWW. This was such a WILD ride man… while I am happy, that Robbie is safe with his sister and dad.. BUT I NEED THAT MAN EXPOSED OKAY?! The pictures need to be out everywhere of what he was doing!! I feel like I have so many questions that aren’t answered like what happened with the other boys that attempted to escape.. did they get away??? BOY IM SO MADDDDD. Blue reallllyyyy pissed me off the entire book!!!! like this was yo plan and you stay GHOST!!! RIP to my boy Redbone because I just couldn’t believe he diedddd
