I don't even have words. This book tore my soul into pieces. It was so uncomfortable to read and I got so angry sometimes but it is so, so important that young people, especially girls, read this so that they can understand. It's a commentary on so many things, and it's such a heartbreaking story but so many aspects of it are also true in a way. Even though this is a fictional story, things that happen in this book do happen, and it's devastating.
