4.0

This book was a wild ride. And it was a bit of a mess. But a good mess! 

But this book is NOT lighthearted!!! There are many many serious events and themes in this novel that people need to be aware of. Written over a decade ago before trigger warnings were a thing but just keep that in mind!
