This definitely lived up to all the hype! It's not getting 5 full stars just because it was a bit slow moving in parts, but it was necessary to the overall storytelling. Lo just captures Lily's voice so accurately, and the timelines and everything felt so authentic and well-researched. This isn't a topic covered much (if at all) in young adult literature, and I definitely think it was a voice that needed to be heard.
