While the theme is intense, this was a quick easy read, which I appreciated. I did enjoy the book, but feel like the ending seemed a lil rushed, which may have been what  she was going for. I found myself wanting more conflict in the end.

When a book is able to make you love then hate then love again, I personally think that makes and shows how talented the author is. This book was amazing and threw me all over the place. I had no idea what I was getting into and at times I had to stop to curse out certain words characters bcs the writing is so good it makes you feel as though you’re there with the characters. I think this book is definitely not for the weak if you can’t take dark topics but if you can, definitely read it. It’s so good yet bad, and bad as in what happens in the book is bad but the book itself and its story is amazing.
