It's been a long time since I've read one of Laurie Halse Anderson's books, but her writing still hits like a train. This was a rough, emotional read, and I think it was worth going through at least once. I'm not sure I'll ever re-read it, due to how heavy it is, but it's very unapologetic and raw and real with the topic it tackles.
