5.0

Not to be dramatic but this is one of the best things I've read and I feel like a different person than I was an hour ago when I started it.

I don't always retain the details or plotlines of books I read, but I don't think I'll physically be able to to forget this for the rest of my life. Rent free in my head, in a good way and bad way.

I'd like to note that I'm literally sobbing on my bedroom floor as I write this out so take that as you will.

Favourite quote:

"This time, when I push my face into the pool, when the water fills my mouth and floods my lungs, I am smiling. They will never sing my name."
