Gut-Wrenching and Hopeful

This YA dystopian novel is one of the best things I’ve read all year. Brilliantly crafted, it ripped my heart out over and over again, and yet, the threads of resilience and hope are so artfully woven through that while you mourn, you never despair. The last chapter had me sobbing like a baby in the best, most joyous way. I’m crying a little now just writing this. 

Read this book. It has five damn medals on the cover for a reason.
