dark emotional slow-paced

3.5

It's a little slow for my preferences.  It may have been better as an audiobook. I debated whether to DNF It or not. I hope some of Caletti's other books are better.

LOVE this book. Such a heartbreaking thing happened to an average girl. I enjoyed it and adored the characters, although I wish the author would have gone more in-depth into the idea of forced victims-turned-activists. That's more of a personal interest thing though.

This was such a powerful, inspiring, beautiful story about a young girl who goes through something traumatic but keeps going. She doesn't know how she's going to keep living, but she knows she has to. She has to do something. Her voice needs to be heard. She needs to take back her life and feel in control again. This was a very strong story and I think it's important that it was told. I would look up trigger warnings before reading though.
