Without the final chapter I would rate this book a 2 star. However, the ending delivers an unexpected plot twist and does tie the rest of the plot line together well. However, there are many smaller tropes throughout the book that are underdeveloped and important issues brushed over. It’s not a book I would recommend but at least it’s only short!
Graphic: Chronic illness and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Racism, Animal death, and Child death
Minor: Dementia, Rape, Suicidal thoughts, and Alcoholism
