This book showed me why I don't read literary fiction- it broke my heart and then started to put it together again but I still wasn't happy. This book is super dark and was really triggering. That being said the characters felt so real and it will stay with me for a long time. The writing also was phenomenal!

I was struggling with a reading slump, and this book was such a helpful change of pace than what I normally read; its really helped. I don’t normally read books like this, with these types of perspectives—I really appreciated reading it.

I wasn't sure what I was expecting.. but this was not it. I love reading about how flawed and ugly we all really are. I grew to dislike the main characters but wanted more from the secondary characters. I liked it.
