Thank you to NetGalley and HarperVia for the ARC.

The writing in this was really great and really portrayed the hardships that all of our characters had to go through. It was tough to read at times but a lot the things that the characters went through do happen in real life. The author does a good job at making you really feel for these characters and caring for them. 
I didn’t realize what time frame we were in and at first I was thinking that it was set a few decades ago but then there was mention of more modern things so that confused me for a bit. But I think that was intentional and for me shows that at the end of the day what was happening is something that is always happening, at any time. 
It felt very rushed at the end and I wish the ending had been drawn out a little more. 
But overall I thought it was great and would recommend.
