4.5

 Such a good book with heavy situations and emotions. It was slow in the beginning and I felt like so much happened at the end and was rushed but ultimately it all came together and revealed the answers to puzzling situations. The ending was a happy one considering all the trauma the characters went through. There were some very real and dark themes throughout the book that the author captured respectfully and honestly.
