A resounding 5 stars does not begin to cover my adoration for this story. This will still firmly sit in my top spot of favorite book, hands down. No questions asked.
Hannah, as always, writes so beautifully that you are pulled into the characters lives and you feel every single emotion they are feeling. Every heartbreak, every joyous moment, every despair, all of the small hopes, the bravery, the love, the shame and the defiance.
If you have not read this, please do so. You are truly missing out on a wonderful book that will stay with you for years to come.
