I stupidly, fuckingly loved this book so much. I have cried, I have laughed, I have felt the characters anger and pain. I can only describe this book as beautiful in the way it is written, yes the topics are tough and do not match that word but the story as a whole so is. I fell in love with the characters and their empowerment, their strength. Mako is such a female empowering man and I am fucking here for it.
