I got this book initially through my public library but I was so hooked onto it I went to my local bookstore, bought a copy, and finished it, all within a matter of days.
As much as I rolled my eyes at Maddie, I found it good that we had to be by her so that she could see the strong, different perspectives, and how this world definitely swung the hammer on her with her privilege. It was just great to see.
I didn't even finish the book before Instarted recommending it to others and now I REALLY want to let others know to read this!

A good amount of heavy topics at hand. Always remember to take care of yourself should things get heavy in your mind.
