read for the "flower on the cover/title" category on book bingo. you don't need me to tell you that this book is fucked up. it does make you wonder why it was so immensely popular. is it just all the taboo breaking that is "justified" by the extreme circumstances these kids were put in? is it the trauma porn?

Este libro se merece 5 estrellas indiscutiblemente, es una de las mejores historias que he leído, todo está perfectamente construido, te enganchas desde la primera página. La forma de escribir de la autora te hace imaginarte todo con sumo detalle. El final es perfecto. Háganse un favor y leanlo
