I’m not crying, you’re crying. This book is so emotional. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book about addicts or incarcerated people that treats them as such whole people. 

My only negative commentary was that I stupidly did not see the child sexual abuse scene coming. It caught me by surprise and it was hard to read even though there were minimal details. I was just too invested in Ranita for that scene to not be completely heartbreaking.
