Tunga ämnen och händelser, men skriven i ett så fint och poetiskt språk! Fastnade helt klart för boken även om jag i perioder fick ont i magen av att läsa om det liv Kiara vänder sig till och tvingas fast i.

thissagreads's review against another edition
By the 6th hour, there continued to be a lot of “well I just have to do what I have to do” mentality, on top of having to trick/prostitute while trying to take care of the neighbor’s kid since his mom is just looking for her next fix …. I don’t really understand the appeal, even if the author is a young, award winning poet and started writing this book at 16 years old. Very disappointing.

this book is incredibly moving and emotional. i felt like i was right next to kiara through it all. i felt her emotions, her pain, her hopelessness, her struggle. i felt so deeply connected to and with her. i haven’t felt that deeply connected to a character in a long while.
this was a beautifully heartbreaking read, one that won’t ever leave my mind or heart. i’m torn between telling everyone i know to read this book and clutching it to my chest and guarding it with my life. (i will do the former because this is a story that deserves to be told but i am protective and don’t want anyone to talk badly about it).
to all the kiara’s, alé’s, trevor’s, camilla’s, and marcus’s: you deserve the world 🤍
