There were several triggers I was not anticipating even with the warning page. This book is incredibly sad. The main character sees more tragedy, more heartache, than any one person should. And even still, she is resilient and tries to bring sunshine to everyone else’s world. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It was a quick read, definitely brought on some tears though, so not necessarily the light summer reading you might assume it to be at first glance. I’m looking forward to getting the second book soon.

This was good. It was predictable but also has many surprising moments. There was enough to keep me wanting to read more.
This book is very emotional when it warns you with a trigger, it’s not something to take lightly.

I know that there are different books for different people but this really was not for me. I know books can make us feel all the feels but this one was really very depressing almost all the way through. I gave 1.5 stars rather than 1 because it did have me hoping for Salem and Thayer there for a bit. I saw there is a book 2 but I have no desire to put myself through stuff like that again.

I’ve never read anything better. I was crying, breathing hard, heart was palpitating, thought I was going to throw up. I am so gut wrenchingly distraught it’s not even fathomable. I downloaded the second book as soon as I finished the first.
