I read this because it was challenged at my local school district and I was offered to serve on a committee to review it. This book was deeply, deeply depressing but I enjoyed it regardless. I do have some qualms with the way some of the characters were presented, but I am glad I stuck with it till the end because there was a point where I was iffy and then instantly shifted to one of my most memorable books I've ever read. I feel like this book however, should contain some pretty big trigger warnings. It is very, very, VERY upsetting. Like, I honestly had to take a few breaks here and there just to get thru it.
