This book devastated me in ways that I haven’t felt in a while. Literally had to talk to my therapist about it. Abby Jimenez does an incredible job of showing mental health struggles, and this book is no exception to that. Because of life experience, I do my best to stay away from books deal with the foster system, but this is one I’m glad I accidentally picked up. I felt so seen and understood; I tear up just thinking about it. Well done, Abby.
