Oh. My. Gosh. It’s horrible. Sickening. Not a fun read. But it’s so important. It just reached a hand into my chest and crushed my heart. I honestly have no words. I think the romance was a little unnecessary? I felt like it either needed more or less, and the amount in there was just a bit awkward. I’ve seen it promoted as a romance—it’s really not. The romance is pretty minor to the storyline.

This is not a cute read.
This is not a sweet read.
It’s not a feel-good book.
But you NEED to read it. Right now.
