5.0

I was engrossed in this book from the second I picked it up. The way the story is written through different character's points of view allows not only for a unique plot development, but it's also so strategically done that it forces the reader to look at a situation or other characters in multiple lights that don't shy away from the rawness of their being. It gives the reader just enough guidance while providing space for personal interpretation. Bottom line, this book is fascinating and sad.
