A beautifully heartbreaking story. It is both difficult to read but extremely necessary to read. You can see the lives of so many reflected in this story.

A friend begged me to read this book and I hate that I put it off for as long as I did, because this book amazing. 
It's honest and real, with no backing down to the world. I often found myself reading with tears of anger and other times tears of sadness. It's an emotinally raw experience that I will not forget for a long time.

I would give this book more stars if I could. A more coherent review coming up once I stop crying.
