“I love how Hanya lets you go through the lives of these 4 main characters from young adults trying to make their way in the world to the end of their lives.

“Sad to say I couldn’t make it all the way through (I tried but gave up and googled the ending 🥲). This was my first character driven story, and while it’s not for me, I did enjoy what I read. I felt because it was character driven, I did find it dragging in areas, but overall I loved Jude and the writing style, and didn’t have the heart to leave this completely unfinished so I dig up the ending.”Diverse charactersMulti-layered charactersBeautifully writtenDescriptive writingDarkHeartbreakingAbuseSelf-harmSexual assaultViolence

“It really wasn't for me. While I do agree the story was devastating, I simply did not care enough about the characters to give a damn. Also, it was so unnecessarily long; could have been alot shorter and it wouldn't have mattered”Multi-layered charactersAbuseSelf-harmSexual assaultViolence
