This book is important & I’m really happy it exists for YA audiences & for people who need to learn things from it. It has a lot of really intense conversations that are really important & I hope people continue reading & talking about this book. My only gripe with it was that I strongly disliked the writing style which took me out of the story quite often. I found it very very predictable & obvious with what was going on & what was going to happen. That being said, I still recommend this book because I think lots of people can take something away from it & learn from it. This book is very very graphic & I think could be incredibly potentially triggering for some, so please check TW & take care of yourself when reading
