I usually don't give books more than a 4 or write reviews but oml this book was so so so good. I pulled an all nighter for this book and it was 100% worth it. This book crushes your heart taking it out of your body and the rejoins it so beautifully that it's all worth it. Dean is so amazing. He is so soft and strong. The things he does for her in the basement is literally so gut wrenchly beautiful. And when he leaves. I was so heart broken for Cora. She is so strong. I loved the tattoo so much like. The necklace too. I love that line so much. Still beating. I battled depression and sucical thoughts and have been through many SAs. This book just made so much sense to me and it felt raw. And Mathew and Tabitha's story was so beautiful as well. Ik he isn't real but I believe he is looking down at Hope and Tabitha feeling impressly proud. 


READ THIS BOOK IT IS TOTALLY WORTH!!!!
