I didn't love it but I liked it. Will the kids like it yes!

I'm glad this didn't have a happy ending but some might argue lol.

I had made assumptions about this book based on the title, and I avoided reading and purchasing this novel in verse. I wish I had read this book earlier so I could have shared it with my students, it's a worthwhile read!

dark sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes

• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would! I downloaded it thinking it would be a quick read (which it is if you read more than a page a day).

I will say, this book actually made me feel tthings. That hasn't happened in awhile when I read. No I didnt cry, but my heart ached and I really felt for the family.

The ending made me mad at first, simply because I wasn't aware there was a sequel. So to make it know: There is a sequel.

I found this book because it’s free on Audible right now. My only warning would be to have tissues near by! It’s a fantastic heart wrenching story! Loved it!
