This is one of those books that sits with you after finishing it. It’s been a few months since I finished the book, and I still think about it every day. I think about the moments, the characters, the future it presented, and the world today. The book is heartbreaking, tough, and you can’t help but imagine yourself in the shoes of these characters. How would you react? What would you do? Read this book.
