5.0
I literally wanna cry everytime I think of this book. I settled on giving it a 5* over a 4.75 because of how much it has impacted me emotionally.
The characters aren’t likeable at all but they aren’t meant to be, their choices are often questionable at best but honestly all the options are bad.
