The religious trauma is so well written. That sudden realization that you don’t have any faith or belief in the religion you were raised in was so heartbreakingly beautiful. The character diversity was great, but I loved the character development even more. It made me cry, not even because the ending was sad, but because I knew all the characters held a special place in my heart, and that I had grown a bond with them over the time I read the book. My first 5-star read of the year, and well deserving of the title.
