Intense, a force of nature really, are the words that describe this book in my opinion.

It deserves all of the accolades it has received. The writing is emotional and in depth. The story made me deeply feel what the characters were experiencing and honestly it tore my heart open. In the first 10 minutes I was sobbing uncontrollably as I read. There are few authors who can create such intense feeling within the beginning of a book but M. L. Wang does it, and does it poignantly.

I had to take breaks while reading this one. The pain, the trials, the truth were at times tough to bear. Especially right now in history. This book felt like a warning of who we could become if we are not careful. It also felt like a tale of what has already happened in human history because society created others who were seen as less than human.

This one is easy to recommend. I hope many people read it and understand the lessons of it.
What. A. Book.
