challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

This was so tragic and strange. My heart breaks for the little girl that never knew love, and the coping mechanisms these characters developed in order to survive a society that wasn't made for them. I'm glad they found eachother. 

I freakin loved every word of this, but i will definitely never read it again.
