Have you ever wanted to finish a book but not want to finish a book? That is how I felt about this book. I was lucky enough to win an arc copy of this book, and it was one of the easiest 5 stars I've ever given. This book does deal with heavy subject matters, so please check trigger warnings before reading. This should honestly be turned into a movie or mini series because that is how it played out in my head as I was reading it.
