This is a hard book to rate for a lot of reasons. The writing was well done and Claudia really grew throughout the events of the book, but man it was hard to read. This book is HEAVY and so sad and all I wanted at the end was for Monday and August to get the help they needed before they died.
Reading the scenes when they were found were horrible. My stomach dropped and I sat there in shock and horror as I continued to read.
A well-written book evokes emotion, and this book absolutely did that but it feels hard and wrong to rate or critique. I feel like a friend told me a story that really happened from their childhood and all I can do is sit in horror and soak it in.
