This was a new genre for me, but I don’t regret reading it one bit! It was a perfect mix of well-written characters, a thrilling plot line and a very important message. I can’t really speculate on the accuracy of it. However, I definitely recommend everyone to read it and become aware of the terrible issues mentioned in this book. I can’t even begin to describe the amount of empathy I have felt through the journey of reading this book. I cried, it was tense, sickening, but paced in a perfect way to continue it. Sounds scary, I know, still a must-read tho.
Didn’t hesitate to label it as five-star one.
