While incredibly similar at first to her other two, the second and third parts of this book threw me completely. I cried the entire part 2 and I feel heavy in general. But her books really just speak to my brain in such a clear way - I adore them and I resonate deeply with her characters. 

Massive trigger warnings: suicide, DV, drug abuse, & slight references toward bigoted politicians
