This book is very emotional and heartbreaking. Throughout the story there are multiple points which may be hard for some. Actually the entire book is not an easy so beware. I enjoy the rawness and the connection that were built despite actions of others. Sisterhood and love and trauma make this book and its movie one of my favorites.
