This book….wow. I wouldn’t say it’s an easy read by any means. But it’s an important read. and one that i feel has made me grow by taking in the words and really thinking about them. I highly recommend this book but please be aware of triggers. 

I will also say that the way the book is written is excellent but there were so many characters that we met who are given POVs throughout chapters that it took my brain a little while to figure out exactly who everyone is.
