This book was absolutely phenomenal.  The only reason it’s not getting a full 5 stars is because of the sheer amount of slurs throughout. There were moments reading when I just couldn’t get past them and I’d say that sort of harmed my reading experience just a bit. But overall, it was a wonderful read and I absolutely loved it.
