It's been a minute since a book made me cry. Not ugly crying, but tears fell. And it made me giggle. And it made me very angry. And it made me relate. What a great book with distinct and living characters. I felt a lot of love from the author...hard to explain. Just something I felt.

Such realistic and complex characters! I felt connected to the characters and was genuinely interested in rooting for them and following their stories (Some parts of the story did traumatize me, as it rightfully should
