In spite of your loss and pain, you aren't alone. You still have people who care about you and want you to be alright. You still have your family.

Dystopian books need to make you question your existence, pierce your view of the world, burst your bubble and make you worry and feel and think and ache. And that's exactly what this book did. Please approach with caution, it is a very heavy story.
