this book made me so sad :( there was tragedy and loss and sadness at every turn for these girls (especially near the end...my GOD) and knowing that these places existed for so long and in so many places...its so horrible. im glad that teagan got out in the end and will hopefully live a good life after everything that happened, im so sad for nora and heartbroken about lea and noras baby...why did they BOTH have to die it was so sad. this one with stick with me for a while.
