Wow this is such a powerful, difficult read. Char's story is absolutely devastating, especially since you know that there are teenagers that go through this almost every day. The audiobook narrator did an astounding job, and I could jump into without reading The Skin I'm In without being too confusing. If you're looking for a powerful book sure to hit you right in the feels, definitely check this one out!
