5.0

I absolutely loved this! I loved the writing style and felt connected to the story and the characters. I really related a lot to Sal’s relationship with his dad and the complicated feelings that come with having an alcoholic parent. I thought the heavy topics and themes that were handled throughout were done really well and in a realistic way. Overall I really enjoyed this and would love to read her An Ember in the Ashes series!

This book starts out appearing to be a story about one thing but then turned out to be something completely different.  I thought it was insightful, and reminds you that sometimes you don't really know people as well as you think.   Loved the music references, not sure how I feel about the religious ones.. but it is a complex book that leaves one with complex thoughts afterwards.

there are many intense subjects broached in this book, despite that, it is a hopeful book that reminds teens that while the world may feel against them at times, there are allies. Even though they are sometimes difficult to find.
