Okay, this book is really good. I really enjoyed reading it, although at times it was heartbreaking. I also highly recommend reading the warnings at the beginning of the book. I think I found it less disturbing because it was outlined exactly what was going to be included.

Now, this book was going to be a 5/5, but the second last chapter just was too weird for me. Like, I get what it's supposed to be doing, but it feels really disconnected from the story and takes all the momentum it builds up to just flat. I want to know what actually happened and I know some of the point is we will never know, but at the same time... I just... I don't know. This book has plenty of weird moments, but that one was just too far for me.
