I don't know any other way to say it other than this book was perfect. it's going into my top 5 favorites ever. I felt so drawn into the story instantly. The characters are so fleshed out and real. It's heartbreaking, tragic even but I also started to feel so much hope while reading. I couldn't put this one down and truthfully don't think many books will ever make me feel what this one did.
There are some heavy themes of drugs (use and dealing), sexual manipulation, and cheating.
