“This is one of the hardest books I've ever read. If you are sensitive or empathic in any way, absolutely do not read it, it will mess you up. I initially felt unsatisfied by the ending, but then I thought "how could it possibly have been satisfying?" It's one of those stories where there just is no good outcome, no way for a happy ending. There were times the writing felt a little preachy/over the top woke, but it's not completely insufferable. Honestly, being mildly annoyed by the tone on occasion probably saved me from being even more devastated by this story. The way things unfold is so incredibly real and raw and relatable.”Skipeople

“This book hurts. I don’t even know how to write a review.
Ashley Herring Blake writes impossibly hard things so beautifully.
I thought Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World was the most important book - and maybe it is for middle grade readers. It was for me - to see a piece of myself in a book that did not exist when I needed it.
And again in this book there are characters that need to be seen on the page. There is a bi girl. There is a non-binary character.
And there is rape. And the horrible culture of non-belief.
I hope my own daughters have amazing best friends like the girls in this book.”
