Decent read. Very informative. Found that the end dragged on a bit which was annoying but overall, for the most part of it, I couldn't put it down. The characters were likeable. Wish we saw things from Ava's side a little bit more. Personally, I learned a lot and have closed the book with a strong sense of compassion and understanding. Well done!
