This book is amazing! No, it's not easy to handle. Yes, it may be hard to take. But if you have ever felt sad, alone, scared or like you need to run away, you can relate to this book. I, myself, felt all these things come through and although I haven't been in a lot of these situations, I connected to the main character in a way I usually can't, because the author tackled such hard topics. I strongly recommend this book! It might unlock places in your heart, feelings you have hidden and hurt you need to sort through. What a great book!
