I never expected a children's book to turn out this dark. God, I can't imagine how awful and terrifying April's life must have been in reality. To discover the truth about her life—and see how she accepted it in the book—is unimaginable. She must have been so strong. If I ever had the chance to meet April, I would hug her tightly and tell her, "You truly deserve the world." :") ♡
